Yes, although Ports already provides ODBC drivers for MS Access (odbc-mdb), MySQL (odbc-mysql), PostgreSQL (odbc-psql, as of the next upload), SQLite (odbc-sqlite3), and Sybase/MS-SQL Server (odbc-tdb) databases. > Most of the databases I would like to connect to (oracle/sql server > databases) use Windows Authentication (NTLM) to grant access. > Hopefully that kind of authentication will be still available in case > I need to install new odbc drivers under cygwin. odbc-tdb should permit connections to MS SQL Server. You will need to find an ODBC driver for Oracle Database which can be built from sources.
