Default Partitioning Postgresql

Hello All,
I know that with Oracle you can partition the tables into logical subsets and
was wondering if this was also possible in postgres.

Also is postgresql supported on linux cluusters?

Thanks in advance,
Phil

No (except by hand, with a view layered over the top).

And no (at least not without specialised hardware).

It might be that with more information, someone can give more lengthy
