Invoking SQL*Plus from within cygwin

[Troy Noble]

Did you define ORACLE_HOME in your environment?  And is your Oracle
bin directory on your PATH when running in bash?

I've seen the Dr. Watson type error you are describing when one of
the two above things wasn't set up properly... I can't remember
which.  Sorry.

So check your PATH and make sure ORACLE_HOME is defined and that might
do it for you.  Can't recall if I had set ORACLE_HOME only in my .bashrc
or if I also had to put it in my NT environment variables.  From quick
inspection, it looks like I did both.

YMMV,
Troy

Subject: Invoking SQL*Plus from within cygwin


I have installed the latest and greatest CygWin on an NT 4 sp 6. Finally
even got cron to work with the help of the NT admins.  

Now I am trying to run Oracle's sqlplus (for NT) from within a Cygwin
terminal window and am receive an error which produces a Dr. Watson type
dump.  I have attached the dump.  

Am I being a bit naive about running an NT program under Cgywin?  I'd
appreciate someone looking at the dump and giving me any insights on getting
this to work.  I have shell scripts which help to reduce and automate a
DBA's workload, but they all log on to a database to perform their work
using sqlplus.

Thanks!
