Ramana, To access DB2 under cygwin you need value of variable DB2CLP (db2 commandline processor). How you get/set that? Easy: - launch 'db2cmd' from run menu (which opens a DOS-like command window), or issue C:\Program Files\SQLLIB\bin\db2cmd from a DOS window - in command window issue: echo %DB2CLP% - note that this temporary env variable changes whenever a new db2cmd command is issued. - create new SYSTEM environment variable with same name & value (My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables...)
add to PATH variable (if it's not already there): e.g. C:\Progra~1\SQLLIB\BIN (for UDB v7x) Now you can access db2 seamlessly from within cygwin, just like on unixes (such as AIX). Hans p.s. what I have described above works under Win2k (UDB v7.x) and WinXP (UBD v8x); I'm not sure about Win9x/ME vintages -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
