In response to AI Rumman :
> * What is the difference between shared_buffers and effective_cache_size?
effective_cache_size:
Sets the planner's assumption about the effective size of the disk cache
that is available to a single query. This parameter has no effect on the
size of shared memory allocated by PostgreSQL, nor does it reserve
kernel disk cache; it is used only for estimation purposes.
shared_buffers:
Sets the amount of memory the database server uses for shared memory
buffers.
It's all copied from the doc, there are much more details about this
parameters. Read the doc!
