Source/Target Selection: In the first step you specify the connection parameters for the source and target database servers.

Object Selection: In the second step you select the objects (tables, views, stored procedures) that will be migrated.

Object Mapping: In the third step you choose the method used for mapping and transforming the objects.

Manual Editing: In the fourth step you can manually edit the new objects to ensure a proper transformation.

Schema Creation: In the fifth step the MySQL Migration Toolkit creates the transformed object on the target MySQL server.

Data Mapping: In the sixth step you specify any changes that need to be made to the data as it is migrated.

Bulk Transfer: In the seventh step the MySQL Migration Toolkit transfers the data from the source server to the target server.

Summary: In the eighth and final step the MySQL Migration Toolkit creates a summary report of the migration process for you to review.
