Since Oracle's acquisition of MySQL in 2010, Ascent Technology has witnessed an increasing uptake amongst its clients of what is considered to be the world's most popular open source relational database management system.

Ascent is of the opinion that clients are much more comfortable using the MySQL solution now, as they have confidence in the fact that it is owned by one of the largest entities in the database management arena.

MySQL is both a stable and cost effective platform, and its level of maturity is evidenced by the fact that Ascent currently supports MySQL databases in the production environments of a number of its clients.
