Crystal Reports (www.seagate.com) is quite good, can do any sort of report
you're after. You can use an ODBC driver for accessing the database, so
accessing pgsql wouldn't be a problem..

Hi,
I've discovered a bug in Postgres. When you rename
a table, the corresponding triggers for that table
are not updated.
For example:
CREATE TABLE tblParent (
ID SERIAL NOT NULL,
Name text,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
CREATE TABLE tblChild (
ID int4 NOT NULL,
email text,
FOREIGN KEY
Got it...
It seams those triggers were created to handle the types I used for the
columns: int2 and bytea...
I realy should check out the types section in the postgres docu :))
