I have a table A where datas are coming in...and as it gets old (say 30 days), we would not want this on same table and wants it in another table 30days old (A_old) and any new request will be in A table.
So, what we are already doing is, created a function to create a table A if not exists , then we are renaming the table A to A_old manually. And when we execute that function it create a new table A so that new data gets inserted. Then after 60 days we drop drop A_old table. Which means we need 30 days data in new table, 30 days data in old table and remaining we don't need it.
How do we automate it?
I am thinking of partioning, but unsure whether it's a complex process ..also don't have date column.
Can we simply create a function to alter table A rename to A_old , and schedule to execute this function every 30 days?
What's the best way?

You can:
alter table rename
Or
create table x as select * from original table.
Depending on you DDL needs or permissions/setup
