# Step 2: Install the SQL Tools and Amazon Schema Conversion Tool on Your Local Computer


Next, you need to install a SQL client and the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool (Amazon SCT) on your local computer.

This walkthrough assumes you will use the SQL Workbench/J client to connect to the RDS instances for migration validation. A few other software tools you might want to consider are the following:
+  [JACK DB](http://www.jackdb.com), an online web interface to work with RDS databases (Oracle and Aurora MySQL) over JDBC
+  [DBVisualizer](https://www.dbvis.com/download/) 
+  [Oracle SQL Developer](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index-097090.html) 

To install the SQL client software, do the following:

1. Download SQL Workbench/J from [the SQL Workbench/J website](http://www.sql-workbench.net/downloads.html), and then install it on your local computer. This SQL client is free, open-source, and DBMS-independent.

1. Download the JDBC driver for your Oracle database release. For more information, go to https://www.oracle.com/jdbc.

1. Download the MySQL JDBC driver (`–0—jar` file). For more information, go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/.

1. Using SQL Workbench/J, configure JDBC drivers for Oracle and Aurora MySQL to set up connectivity, as described following.

   1. In SQL Workbench/J, choose **File**, then choose **Manage Drivers**.

   1. From the list of drivers, choose **Oracle**.

   1. Choose the Open icon, then choose the `–0—jar` file for the Oracle JDBC driver that you downloaded in the previous step. Choose **OK**.

To install the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool and the required JDBC drivers, do the following:

1. Download the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool from [Installing, verifying, and updating the Schema Conversion Tool](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/CHAP_Installing.html).

1. Launch the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool.

1. In the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool, choose **Global settings** from **Settings**.

1. In **Global settings**, choose **Driver**, and then choose **Browse** for **Oracle driver path**. Locate the JDBC Oracle driver and choose **OK**. Next, choose **Browse** for **MySQL driver path**. Locate the JDBC MySQL driver and choose **OK**. Choose **OK** to close the dialog box.
