Believe me, if you have setup Oracle in a correct way (see the Oracle documentation)
including Net8 (or whatever version you have) then working from inside a cygwin environment
is no problem. Just be sure to set the following environment before you start your bash shell.


This is what I have:

[503]> env | grep ORA
ORACLE_SID=VZ                (needed for local connects)
ORACLE_HOME=C:/oracle/o817               "

[504]> env | grep TNS
TNS_ADMIN=C:/oracle/admin    (only needed if you have configured Net8 and have your tnsnames.ora
                              in an unusual place)

[505]> env | grep LOCAL      (not deede at all, but useful sometimes)
LOCAL=vz


Ciao
  Volker
