Hum, I don't think it's doable in my case; the partitioning is not know a priori. First t1 is fully populated, then the data is loaded and manipulated by my application, the result is stored in t2; only then I want to remove (part of) the data from t1.

It's a shame there isn't a LIMIT option on DELETE so this can be done in small batches.
