Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: stupid oracle on windoze question
Hi Jared,
Sorry, I misunderstood the question.
Environment variables can, however be set locally instead of at the system level
tns_admin=<directory>
inside of a .bat or a .cmd script, maybe even perl :-)

well the thing is, he wasn't looking for TNS_ADMIN since that justre-sets the directory Oracle looks at but wanted something that workedmore like how login.sql works -- where if you have the file in yourlocal working directory, it is used and overrides any other file.In Unix, if you have a .tnsnames.ora file (please note the initial ".")in your own personal $HOME directory) it will override the values inthe $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora or the$TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora fileTHAT is what Joe wanted for Windows. It ain't in the flaming manuals.--- Kimberly Smith <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" hre !

Damn, why don't people use the manuals. TNS_ADMIN. Actually, youcan setthe puppy on Unix as well. -----Original Message----- From: root_at_fatcity.com [mailto:root_at_fatcity.com]On Behalf Of JOETESTA Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 6:15 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: stupid oracle on windoze question ok in the unix world, we have .tnsnames.ora file which overrides a$HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
