How can I connec to server using only tnsname.ora parameters? [message #59679]

I'm storing host name, port number and service name in an ini file as below:
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pc3)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORADB)
)
)

I want to make my MFC application to connect to Oracle server using only those parameters without connecting oracle client to oracle server using Net8 configuration.
Could you please let me know how can I do that?

i dont understand the requirement.
those entries u have posted are nothing but tnsnames.ora entries ( but u store it in a different file). any sqlnet authenticated connection REQUIRES tnsnames.ora.
If u use JDBC thin client, u no need tnsnames.ora
(connection parameters vary narrowly, u give host,sid,port in the connect string).

Thanks for the immediate reply!
I'd just like to know how I can connect to oracle server using host name, port ID and SID?
I want my application to run even if the connection is not created using Net8 configuration.

something like this
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
              ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid","scott","tiger");

download the thin client from oracle site
please refer Oracle9i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference for more information
