Database engines

While this example uses two MySQL databases, it is possible to migrate from one database engine to a complete database engine, for example, Oracle to MySQL. Unfortunately, this can be a complex process, and while this functionality is very useful it is beyond the scope of this recipe. Due to the differences in the various engines, there are some limitations on what you can migrate and transform.

See the AWS Schema Conversion Tool documentation for more details on what can be migrated between different database engines.
