<a name="chap-rdsoracle2redshift.steps.installsct"></a>

Next, you need to install a SQL client and AWS 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.

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 Amazon Redshift driver file, `RedshiftJDBC41-1.1.17.1017.jar`, as described following.

   1. Find the Amazon S3 URL to the file in [Previous JDBC Driver Versions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/jdbc-previous-versions.html) of the *Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide*.

   1. Download the driver as described in [Download the Amazon Redshift JDBC Driver](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/configure-jdbc-connection.html#download-jdbc-driver) of the same guide.

1. Using SQL Workbench/J, configure JDBC drivers for Oracle and Amazon Redshift 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 `ojdbc.jar` file that you downloaded in the previous step. Choose **OK**.

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

   1. Choose the **Open** icon, then choose the Amazon Redshift JDBC driver that you downloaded in the previous step. Choose **OK**.

Next, install AWS SCT and the required JDBC drivers.

1. Download AWS SCT from [Installing, verifying, and updating the Schema Conversion Tool](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/CHAP_Installing.html).

1. Follow the instructions to install AWS SCT.

1. Launch AWS SCT.

1. In AWS SCT, choose **Global settings** from **Settings**.

1. Choose **Settings**, **Global settings**, then choose **Drivers**, and then choose **Browse** for **Oracle driver path**. Locate the Oracle JDBC driver and choose **OK**.

1. Choose **Browse** for **Amazon Redshift driver path**. Locate the Amazon Redshift JDBC driver and choose **OK**. Choose **OK** to close the dialog box.
