Record time installing Oracle 10g

Last night I set a personal record. I was able to install Oracle 10g on Ubuntu server and have it completely running and configured to start upon bootup in about 20 minutes.

WHEW!

So what happened?  Well, the first time I installed Oracle I only installed the Standard Edition.  I then realized that Standard does not support Query Rewrite for Materialized Views and it does not support partioning tables.  So I wiped out my installation and installed Enterprise Edition.

How did I do it so fast?  Well, it's the 3rd time I've installed it in the last week.  :)
