I see in postgresql.conf what seems to be the suggested way to go:

#shared_buffers = 2*max_connections # min 16

This seems to imply that every connection is to take 16kb of shmem on average. From my understanding this depends on
thesize of the query->involved relations, the sort_mem size etc.etc. 

True/false?

TIA,
thalis
