RE: Location of the tnsnames.ora file in 10.2.0.1 instant client

As instant client is generally used by an application account for a
specific database we use a connect string

sqlplus
username@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=HOST)(Port=1521))(CO
NNECT_DATA=(SID=XXXX)))'

Not sure if it's the same for instant client, but I think you can set
TNS_ADMIN to point it to the right directory, or check the oracle.key
file in your ORACLE_HOME/bin directory and that should direct you to the
right area of the registry.  There are metalink notes with more details
- just search for "oracle.key".
