Sounds like you just need to add the executable bit to sqlplus. I use cygwin and sqlplus frequently but don't recall if I ever had to this.

from the cygwin shell prompt...

cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
chmod 777 sqlplus.exe

If that works you might consider setting it on all the executables in the directory.

BTW one caveat with sqlplus under cygwin is that because sqlplus.exe is a Windows program, it outputs <cr><lf> as the end of line character. If you try to process any of it's output in cygwin make sure to filter out the <cr>. Received on Fri Mar 09 2007 - 14:17:03 CST
