I can't think of any solid distributed RDBMS that would have been around in 2004. Does anyone with more knowledge have any idea (open or not)?

IBM DB2 and Oracle 9i were around for sure. Other solutions as well. DB landscape was well-established back then.

They were, but rediculously expensive at the time. $100k+ at the time to have a non-replicated version on Oracle running on a multicore server. Dealing with Oracle was like dealing with the mob.

DEC RDB might have done it, if it was still available.
