You have no clue when it comes to data structures do you? You took the original problem, made a blind comment that hashtables aren't the "fastest" data structure. Now when it turns out the argument doesn't suit you, you manage to get the idea (or rather force it for lack of anything meaningful to say) that somebody needs a database. No, nobody wants a database. A hashtable isn't intended to be a database. Stop juggling around saying "oh what about x, oh no y, thats not right when I could do z."
