How much memory is required?

In response to "Bill" <postgresql@dbginc.com>:

Is there any published information on the minimum or recommended amount
of memory for PostgreSQL on Windows and/or Linux. I am looking at
PostgreSQL for an embedded app and hardware cost is a consideration. I
cannot find anything in the PostgreSQL 8.1.0 Documentation but I may
not be looking in the right place. Thanks.

You need to estimate a lot of things before you can estimate the
memory requirements. Off the top of my head:
*) Desired performance
*) Max # of simultaneous connections
*) Max size of dataset
