You haven't shown us your data. But I think that if you don't spend the time to organize your data into a database then you will instead have to spend much longer writing your program. And when it is finished it will probably run more slowly than if it was data-oriented. You should also consider whether there there will ever be another program written that needs access to the same data. If so then there is no question that it belongs in a database. You're welcome to discuss your problems here, but please try to describe it carefully so that we can best help you.
