Neither sqlnet.ora or tnsnames.ora are required.
You can connect to a database by specifying the full connect string.
This will work from sqlplus:
connect
system/manager@(description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=remedydev)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=orcl)))
It works, but is not terribly convenient.
I don't imagine your dba was doing this though. Could it be that
Oracle Names servers are being used? They don't require tnsnames.ora
files.

Subject: connect to the databases without using tnsnames.ora?
Does anyone here knows how to setup the connections to
the database server without using tnsnames.ora?
Our DBA didn't use it. But I don't know how and why?
Could anyone tell me the other options?
