What about "Sqlcmd: Error: Internal error" don't you understand? It's a bug in a proprietary tool that's part of a rather expensive software package, so most people here won't even be able to reproduce it never mind debug it. Also, piping commands into other native tools such as cmd.exe or python is working fine. One item in the what's new section at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html that looks like it might have something to with this is the following. However, it's not clear at all how such a change in Cygwin would trigger a crash in a native program. - Reworked pipe implementation which uses overlapped IO to create more reliable interruptible pipes and fifos. Bottom line: it's a sqlcmd bug. Report it to Microsoft.
