HI,

is there a site where we can see all technical papers that postgresql
is based on?
i mean algorithm and other stuff related...

if not is worth the effort to maintain such a site?

some of us live in countries where this kind of info is very difficult to get...

There isn't one single place to look, but the three places I would look are
http://techdocs.postgresql.org (techdocs site, little long in the tooth but
hopefully will be revamped soon), the developers section of the main website
(http://www.postgresql.org/developer/coding), and I know there are some links
within the code to technical papers that could be worth investigating. If you
want to go farther back you can do some searches on POSTGRES (the original
system from berkely), Stonebreaker, and perhaps some other keywords mentioned
in the history (; http://www.postgresql.org/about/history). those should
bring back some relevant ideas though the code is probably written from that
time.

If you can employ java with your web-server or may be even use java directly
with PostgreSQL (pl/java) then one of the best free report generators out
there is:
JasperReports: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/
JasperReports can output directly to pdf, html, xls, and many more.
Combine that with iReports (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ireport) as the
gui for report design and you will find the two together are a great
combination:
