In the document "developer-7.3.2-US.pdf" which i have downloaded from
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/archive/ , at many places references
are made about the figures. For example in section 2.5.2 it is given as:
"Figure \ref{plan} shows the plan produced for the query in example
\ref{simple_select}". I would be grateful if you let me know where I can
find these figures.

I'm not real familiar with the docs conventions of such ancient
versions, but it looks like the 7.3 docs (arch-dev.sgml, for your
example) contain a few references to removed and commented-out
figures. Your \ref{plan} snippet is looking for a section containing
this figure:
\epsfig{figure=figures/plan.ps}
I looked through a few 7.x tarballs, and saw some included .ps
graphics, though I don't see that particular one, or a "figures"
directory. Maybe someone else happens to know the history of those
figures.

Well, like it says at the top of the file, arch-dev.sgml was originally
an extract from Stefan Simkovics' thesis, which one can infer was
prepared in some flavor of TeX. I doubt that we ever did import the
figures from that, since they didn't match up very well with the
capabilities of our not-TeX docs toolchain. (A quick look in the
git history seems to confirm this --- Tom Lockhart seems to have
imported the thesis text here:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ba8808b2a668f8f3d1682593915023428f...
and there's no sign of figures there or in any nearby commit.)
If you're looking for pretty pictures I'd suggest you check out
Bruce's internals talks. I think this is the current version:
