We're putting together a raft of OSS technologies for BI and reporting.
Currently, bizgres 0.7 bundles with KETL and JasperReports; we'll be adding
more tools to that distribution in the next couple releases.  Join us!  Be
one of us!  ;-)

And, of course, you can always do PostgreSQL + CrystalReports +
BusinessObjects; I talked to the BO folks at LinuxWorld, and they say PG
works great with their products.
