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.
