To add to the options already mentioned: if you have OpenOffice.org lying 
around, it is fairly straightforward to connect to a PostgreSQL data base 
through OO.o Base, build a query there, and output it in Excel format. (This 
will easily convince your auditor. :-) It should obviously also be possible 
with MS Access, but I haven't tried that.
