Description:
MySQL -> Oracle Migration Tool tutorial videos available on the MySQL website at http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/migration-toolkit/tutorials/OracleMigrationTutorial.html are a little out of date, not enough to cause major problems though:

* The video shows the Migration method as "Oracle Standard" instead of "Oracle default" which it shows up as in the MySQL Migration Toolkit v1.1.12.

* The video shows view migration with the result "The migration of Oracle views is not implemented yet." however when I migrated a view in MySQL Migration Toolkit v1.1.12, the result was "The generated SQL has to be checked manually."

* The video does not show the Object Creation Options page after the Manual Editing page, but there was one for me. It asks if you want to Create Objects Online (create objects on the target database) and/or Create Script File for Create Statements. I just went with Create Objects Online, since it said if there is a problem I can fix the statement manually.

How to repeat:
watch the video: http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/migration-toolkit/tutorials/OracleMigrationTutorial.html

Suggested fix:
update the video: http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/migration-toolkit/tutorials/OracleMigrationTutorial.html

Thank you for the bug report.

Thanks for reporting this! However, there's no chance to fix this, because:

- Migration Toolkit isn't being actively developed any more. There won't be any further releases.

- The video tutorials were a one-time effort. There's no one in charge of keeping them updated. Considering that Migration Toolkit is not actively developed any more, chances of getting resources to align video and software are zero.

- Last not least, contents on www.mysql.com aren't controlled by the MySQL Docs Team.
