Oracle requires ksh93 when installing their database.
For myself, I write to the ksh93 standard, but reduced to mksh, because I desire functionality, but portability.
The question of s/BASH/bash is not relevant to me. The toolset is the question.
Noted again is that Cygwin only implements mksh, not ksh93. Write for what you have.
It would make me nothing but happy should "bash" adopt ksh syntax. Perhaps I should struggle to be sufficiently adept to submit patches.
- technion 6y agoOracle's list of "required packages" is annoyingly large but I cannot find a particular shell amongst them. The installation guide appears to have a paragraph devoted to each of bash, "bourne or korn", and C shells.
