What you seem to be looking for is a form of partitioning. PostgreSQL
doesn't currently support partitioning of this form, but there's work in
progress to change that.
As someone else mentioned, you could do it with a union all view.
http://cvs.distributed.net/viewcvs.cgi/stats-sql/logdb/ has an example
of this.
