What AWS Schema Conversion Tool is

AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) converts database schemas between engines, covering relational OLTP, data warehouse, and NoSQL systems. When it cannot automate a schema conversion, it provides guidance for building an equivalent schema in the target database. A project wizard estimates migration complexity for supported destinations and creates a report for comparing target options. For warehouse migrations to Amazon Redshift, it can manage data extraction agents; it can also create, run, and monitor AWS DMS endpoints and tasks. AWS SCT can convert SQL embedded in application code such as C++, C#, and Java for users to review and edit. Other supported workload conversions include SSIS packages, Teradata workloads, and Apache Oozie workflows to specified AWS services. It is a standalone, project-based application and also has a command-line version. Planned converted schemas are stored locally until applied to the target. AWS SCT is free and runs on 64-bit Windows, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu Linux.
