Hi,
We are doing an oracle to postgres migration(5 TB+ data). We are encoding and decoding BLOB data after migration and for that we are running updates on tables having BLOB/CLOB data. When we execute this pg_wal is filling up. 

Do you have any general guidelines for migrating a 5TB + database from Oracle to Postgres? Any specific guidelines around archiving logs?

Regards,
Aditya.
