Igor,

The sum of effective_cache_size and shared_buffer will be higher than the 
physical memory I have. Is it OK?
Thanks!

Charles

Yes, that’s normal.

shared_buffers is the maximum that Postgres allowed to allocate, while 
effective_cache_size is just a number that optimizer takes into account when 
creating execution plan.
