Oracle uses the environment variable TNS_ADMIN if you want to specify
a directory different from the ones it normally searches in looking
for the TNS administration files (like tnsnames.ora). As has already
been stated, you can identify a database using the host and its SID
(as above). Oracle generally does not recommend setting the
environment variable ORACLE_HOME on Windows as it can interfere with
multi-homing on that platform and can occasionally cause weirdnesses
of various sorts to appear. All that is needed is for the directory to
be in the PATH environment variable and Oracle does the rest.
