Hello all,
We are planning to test one of our products, which works with Oracle, on PostgreSQL.  The database size is about 100 GB. It is a product with a not-so-high load ( about 10 tps - mostly read). My doubts are about PostgreSQL settings. For Oracle, we give about 4 GB SGA (shared buffer) and 1.5 GB PGA (sum of session-specific memory). The machine configuration is
Opteron 2CPU * 4cores @ 2.3GHz  
16GB  RAM
OS Solaris10 x64

So far I have changed the following settings in postgresql.conf

shared_buffers = 2GB                    
temp_buffers = 8MB                      
work_mem = 16MB                        
maintenance_work_mem = 32MB            
wal_level = archive                    
checkpoint_segments = 10                
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.7      
archive_mode = on              
effective_cache_size = 6GB              
log_destination = 'csvlog'              
logging_collector = on                  
log_directory = '/backup/datapump/pgdata/log'              
log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'
log_rotation_age = 1d                  
client_min_messages = notice            
log_min_messages = warning              
log_min_duration_statement = 3000    

Could you please let me know the parameters I should pay attention to? Do the settings mentioned above look OK?
We are suing weblogic. Should we let weblogic manage the connection pool or try something else?

Regards,
Jayadevan
