Yes, I think all the Oracle stuff is quite confusing (I would say
intimidating) for newbies, and unuseful if one want to work only with
free sw.

Yes, thanks; I know it well: I've been debugging it, sending lots of
feedback to Mauricio. Now I have a new error, probably due to the recent
upgrade of the plugin, I'm waiting for his response.
As soon as I'll have it working, I'll try to set up a tutorial based on
my data, and I'll publish it.

Sure, we all know time of skilled developers is the real limiting
factor.

Thanks a lot!
