Hello Jordan,
You don't have to set %25 for the best performance. You need to test
different values for your database. If I were you, I would

Thanks Tom, that makes a lot of sense. Given we're seeing low iowait and
blk_read_time at 4GB shared_buffers, sounds like we should just declare
victory here and be happy with that setting?

Thanks for your thoughtful response Samed.
I'm familiar with the article you linked to, and part of my surprise is
that with these 32GB RAM machines we're seeing better performance at 12.5%
(4GB) than the commonly recommended 25% (8GB) of system memory for
shared_buffers. Your notes
Hi Jordan,
Increased shared buffer size does not necessarily mean an increased
performance.
Regarding the negative correlation between IOWait and shared_buffers' size;
if you don't increase memory of the system, it is an expected result in my
opinion. Because, PostgreSQL starts r

Yes, exactly.
The main difference is that PostgreSQL uses buffered I/O, while Oracle usually
uses direct I/O.
Usually you s
Hi team,
I want to know about the working and importance of shared_buffers in
Postgresql? is it similar to the oracle database buffer cache?

Daulat
I did one final test of increasing the shared_buffers=32GB. It seems to be
having no impact on TPS (in fact, if I look closely there is a 10-15%
**negative** impact on the TPS compared to shared_buffers=2G)
I can confirm that **almost** the entire DB has been cached in the
shared_buffers

Right -- but increasing shared_buffers won't increase my TPS, right? Btw, I
just realised that irrespective of shared_buffers, my entire

Thank you Andrew and Thomas. All is now clear :-)

Hi,
check for blocksize (8k) as factor.
8k*131072=1G

Excuse me if this is a silly question. I am trying to fiddle with
shared_buffers setting on postgresql 10.6 on ubuntu 18.04 server.
I have this at bottom of my config file:
shared_buffers = 1GB
Yet when I check the setting from pg_setting I see something quite different:

Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to optimise my Postgres config for a production
setting [1] Once I realised random changes weren't getting my anywhere, I
finally purchased PostgreSQL 10 - Higher Performance [2] and understood the
impact of shared_buffers.
