Specify location of tnsnames.ora in ODT 18.3

Niels JespersenFeb 11 2019 — edited Feb 13 2019

Hello

When opening the Tools, Connect to Database, Oracle Database, ODP.NET MAnaged Provider, the dialog has a field, Tnsnames currently in use, which points to "c:\program files (x86)\oracle developer tools for vs2017\network\admin\tnsnames.ora".

You get an option to find og browse to other tnsnames.ora locations, and then are suggested to overwrite the one in "c:\program files (x86)\oracle developer tools for vs2017\network\admin".

I would much prefer to be able to point to another tnsnames altogether, not to copy to the local destination. That is to change the folder that "tnsnames.ora currently in use points to".

Are there any possibilities toward this?

Regards Niels Jespersen

My environment is:

VisualStudio.15.Release/15.9.6+28307.344
