DBS-C01 Deployment and Migration Practice Question
A company wants to migrate an on-premises SQL Server database to Amazon RDS for SQL Server. They need to convert stored procedures and functions. Which AWS service should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse AWS DMS with schema conversion, but DMS only moves data and does not convert stored procedures or functions, which requires a separate schema conversion tool like AWS SCT.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS SCT
AWS SCT (Schema Conversion Tool) is the correct service because it specializes in converting database schemas, including stored procedures and functions, from one engine to another. For migrating on-premises SQL Server to Amazon RDS for SQL Server, SCT can analyze and convert the schema objects, handling syntax differences and compatibility issues automatically.
