What’s your favorite shell in Windows?

I just wrote one of my first powershell script yesterday, it has a pretty nice syntax actually, and no need to download anything like cygwin or other unix-like shell to your PC.

PS> $stmt = "set hea off`n"
PS> $stmt += "select 'hello world' from dual;"
PS> $res = ($stmt | sqlplus -s scott/tiger)
PS> $res

hello world

Pretty cool 🙂

    One I like is

    PS> $dbs = ‘db1 db2 db3 db4’.split()
    PS> $dbs | foreach { ‘select count(*) from v$session;’ | sqlplus -s system/pw@$_ }

    Neat 🙂

    I learnt a lot in the last week… from changing the icon to manipulating the clipboard, and all test different functions, it is really cool and the resource on the web are immense !
