Re: ORACLE -> registry -> multiple homes

Ok, you wonder WHY I would like to know HOW Oracle uses the Registry.

An example:
You know the registry setting TNS_ADMIN? Ok, I use it to point Oracle to 1 central location where a tnsnames can be found.
While I do not EXACTLY know how Oracle uses the registry for me it is a kind of ' trial and error' until oracle (say Forms) 'sees' the setting.

By understanding the registry and the way Oracle uses it I would get more control
and I would know where to put certain settings.

Can you tell me when I start a product (say for exmple SQLPLUS in a Oracle-home DEV_HOME)
where (tree/subtree) Oracle looks for the corresponing registry settings?
