Well, I really recommend reading the classic from Kimball first:
The Data Warehouse Toolkit

(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471200247/qid=1058369223/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-9522807-8010345?v=glance&s=books)
As I come from an Oracle Background, I do not yet know where to get good 
Postgres-specific DWH knowledge.
