Re: Invoking SQL*Plus from within cygwin



The latest good news is sqlplus no longer crashes - I actually get a password prompt, so I am much closer than before.   Thanks for all the hints.

I do still have a problem, though.  I am getting ORA-012560 - TNS:protocol adaptor error

>From my experience on UNIX, I had a registry entry  TNS_ADMIN which contained the path of tnsnames.ora.  I don't see any registry or NT environment variables on the server or client which performs the same function.  I've added both and re-tried but I still receive the same message.

I don't have Oracle installed on my client.  Do I need to have NET8 installed locally?  Remember I can run sqlplus from the cmd prompt and sqlplusw from a shortcut mapped to the server without any problems.

Thanks again for all the help.
