Manage data slices. A data slice is a logical representation of the data that is saved in the partitions of a disk. The data slice contains pieces of each user database and table. The IBMÂ® NetezzaÂ® system distributes the user data to all of the disks in the system by using a hashing algorithm. Each data slice has an ID, and is logically owned by a SPU to process queries on the data that is contained within that data slice.
In data transmission systems, the byte is defined as a contiguous sequence of bits in a serial data stream, representing is the smallest distinguished unit of data. A transmission unit might include start bits, stop bits, or parity bits, and thus could vary from 7 to 12 bits to contain a single 7-bit ASCII code.
