Here we go (if memory serves ;-)

create table a ( num int4, name text );
create table b ( num int4, name text );

rule to insert into b instead of a:

CREATE RULE redirect AS ON insert TO a DO INSTEAD insert into b values (
new.num, new.name );

... the INSTEAD is important!
BTW: is it really necessary to list all fields in the instead part? Anyone?

when finished vacuuming a, do a

DROP RULE redirect;

of course, when you have more/other fields in your table, you need to
change rule's definition.

Hope this helps,
