Unfortunately, postgresql does not currently support partitioning.

If you want this, you'll have to "roll your own" so to speak.  You'll
need to create two different tables in two different tablespaces, create
a view on top of them, and then create on update triggers to put the
data into the right table when it comes in.

it's a pain, but it works.
