- TNS_ADMIN: This variable specifies the location of the Oracle Net configuration files, which define network connection parameters.
- ORACLE_BASE: This variable defines the base directory for Oracle software installations.
- ORACLE_TERM: This variable specifies the terminal type that Oracle utilities and programs should use for display.
- TMPDIR: This variable specifies the temporary directory to be used by Oracle processes.
