To be honest, this sounds like a job for a system implemented on
Commence or another database designed for disconnected operations.  I
haven't seen any general-purpose SQL DBMSes which do even half as well
at disconnected ops; they're designed for systems which are always
connected, and the big deal is synchronizing operations over an
always-connected but relatively slow WAN.  (Contrariwise, none of the
systems designed for disconnected operations are especially general, and
applications developed on top of them must be designed differently ---
the database engines are *that* different.)
