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.
Part of the Computing fundamentals glossary: To slice and dice is to break a body of information down into smaller parts or to examine it from different viewpoints so that you can understand it better. In cooking, you can slice a vegetable or other food or you can dice it (which means to break it down into small cubes). One approach to dicing is to first slice and then cut the slices up into dices. In data analysis, the term generally implies a systematic reduction of a body of data into smaller parts or views that will yield more information.
