Vim is a great Vi clone, which also works on Windows. It supports using external programs to compile the code you are writing. The following will show how to use this to compile PL/SQL code. Cygwin is also used. The command ‘:make’ in Vim will call an external program on your current document. This external program is setup using the makeprg variable in Vim. Here we will set this to be a shell script, which will be run using Cygwin’s bash shell.
