  2. Partition (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(database)

    Creating a view across the two newly created tables restores the original table with a performance penalty, but accessing the static data alone will show higher performance. A columnar database can be regarded as a database that has been vertically partitioned until each column is stored in its own table.

  3. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    The GUID Partition Table (GPT) is a standard for the layout of partition tables of a physical computer storage device, such as a hard disk drive or solid-state drive. It is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard.

  4. BSD disklabel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_disklabel

    Partition 'a' is the "root" partition, the volume from which the operating system is bootstrapped. The boot code in the Volume Boot Record containing the disklabel is thus simplified, as it need only look in one fixed location to find the location of the boot volume; Partition 'b' is the "swap" partition;

  5. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    The terms partition table and partition map are similar terms and can be used interchangeably. The term is most commonly associated with the MBR partition table of a Master Boot Record (MBR) in PCs , but it may be used generically to refer to other formats that divide a disk drive into partitions, such as: GUID Partition Table (GPT), Apple ...

  6. GParted - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gparted

    GParted is used for creating, deleting, [3] resizing, [4] moving, checking, and copying disk partitions and their file systems. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks, and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging). It can also be used to format a USB drive.

  7. Shard (database architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture)

    Horizontal partitioning splits one or more tables by row, usually within a single instance of a schema and a database server. It may offer an advantage by reducing index size (and thus search effort) provided that there is some obvious, robust, implicit way to identify in which partition a particular row will be found, without first needing to search the index, e.g., the classic example of the ...

  8. Partition type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type

    The partition type (or partition ID) in a partition's entry in the partition table inside a master boot record (MBR) is a byte value intended to specify the file system the partition contains or to flag special access methods used to access these partitions (e.g. special CHS mappings, LBA access, logical mapped geometries, special driver access, hidden partitions, secured or encrypted file ...

  9. KDE Partition Manager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Partition_Manager

    Additionally, KDE Partition Manager can back up file systems to files and restore such backups. [4] [5] It uses util-linux to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables while several (optional) file system tools provide support for manipulating file systems. These optional packages will be detected at runtime and do not require a ...
