| Hi, I have set up logical replication from an AWS RDS instance to a postgreSQL database on an EC2 instance. I am getting an “out of memory” error during the initial for one of the tables. I have include a snippet of the error at the bottom of this email. The snippet below repeats every four or eight hours, depending on the work_mem and maintenance_work_mem values. The other 500 plus tables load with no problem. Does anyone have experience with this issue. Suggestions on what to try would be greatly appreciated. Both databases are running PostgreSQL 11.5. The database is 5 TB in size and has over 500 tables. The "out of memory" error every eight hours. The table is 578GB in the RDS database and ate up over 9TB before it ran out of space on the EC2 instance. The table has a bytea column but there is no data in that column. It also has a text column and the largest text length is 978MB. The odd thing is that this is not the largest table in the database. The largest table took 57 hours to initial load and it does have bytea data. The largest table is about 4 times larger from a size perspective. I have increases the work_mem and the maintenance_work_mem parameters and tried loading only the problem table. This resulted in the “out of memory” error occurring every 4 hours instead of every eight hours. Note that the source database is static (no changes). 020-06-17 07:52:28.618 UTC [8410] LOCATION: LogCheckpointStart, xlog.c:8508
