Table Partitioning

I am new to postgres and was wondering if table partitioning
is supported in Postgres. And if so what version and where can
I find documentation on it.

- Thank You

Ken,

Table partitioning doesn't really exist, to the best of my knowledge,
but tablespaces, which are new to 8.0, allow for partitioning of data
(individual tables, indexes) across multiple locations on disk.

See

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
      joining column's datatypes do not match
