Migration Toolkit requires Java version 1.8.0 or later.

## Choosing a driver
Which JDBC driver you use depends on the what database you are migrating from or to:

Which JDBC drivers you use depends on the databases you are migrating from and to. For example, if you are migrating from Oracle to EDB Postgres Advanced Server, you will need the Oracle JDBC driver and the EDB JDBC driver.

- If you're migrating to or from EDB Postgres Advanced Server, use the EDB JDBC driver. To download the latest driver, see [EDB Connectors](https://enterprisedb.com/software-downloads-postgres#edb-connectors) on the EDB Downloads page. For installation instructions, see [Installing and configuring EDB JDBC Connector](/jdbc_connector/latest/installing/).
