Yes.

That it is non-trivial. That you absolutely MUST read the documentation and follow it. That this is not a case of installing some game like MS Word or Excel. This requires hard work, lots of hours invested in reading, and probably some debugging depending on your environment.

A shot of a good single scotch straight up is appropriate if you fail. A bottle of decent champagne if you succeed.

I'd strongly urge you to find someone who knows how to do it to act as advisor. In your case, with a .nl location on the web ... I'd contact Sybrand Bakker and beg his indulgence. In fact ... I'd bribe him if necessary. You will find his posting at comp.databases.oracle.server.
