* What is the difference between shared_buffers and effective_cache_size?
This whole topic is covered at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server and the additional references that document leads to.

* If I set effective cache size 1GB for db1 and 500 MB for db2, then what will happen to the system memory usage?

Nothing; effective_cache_size doesn't impact system memory usage directly. And I don't think you can set effective_cache_size differently for each database anyway.
