Thanks, this is answer to my other question!
In our case, this might be an important feature.
(Index in memory, other data / columns not.)

Ok. So, we should set also shared_buffers big.

effective_cache_size is not cache. It is just approx value for query planner: how many data can be found in RAM (both in shared_buffers and OS page cache)

shared_buffers is cache for both tables and indexes pages. All data in tables and indexes are split to chunks 8 kb each - pages (usually 8kb, it can be redefined during source compilation).
Shared buffers cache is fully automatic, active used pages keeps in memory, lower used pages may be evicted. You can not pin any table or index to shared buffers.
