[Quoted] By using file "oracle.key". This is how it works 1. You can have multiple ORACLE_HOME since 8.0.5. Installer asks into what ORACLE_HOME to install.
2. Every time a new ORACLE_HOME is created, a new entry in the registry is also created.
3. In ORACLE_HOME\bin you find a small text file "oracle.key". It is created during installation and it points to the corresponding ORACLE_HOME
entry in the registry.
4. When you start Oracle utility like SQL*Plus, it looks for file "oracle.key" located in the same directory as the utility itself. It reads the file, and then find the section in the Registry.
