For more information, see\n[Known Limitations](/database-migration/docs/postgres/known-limitations#existing-instance-limitations).\n\nIf you want to migrate to a destination database created outside of\nDatabase Migration Service, follow the guidance in\n[Create a migration job to an existing destination instance](/database-migration/docs/postgres/create-migration-job-existing-instance)."]]
