It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

this seems like a silly question... "I need to use a database, but I refuse to use a database..." use one or don't.

not really sure why you hate databases.. then are really simple, stable, and work with every language.

You could go for something like hadoop and hive/pig, but that is WAY more then you are looking for and far more complicated the mysql.

You need to give more info as to: 1) what you are trying to do 2) the data set sizes involved 3) the usage patterns that this will be hit with

Wow... way to win friends and influence people right there in the question title.

Take a look at NoSQL. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL:

NoSQL is a database movement which began in early to mid 2009. The term refers to non-relational data stores that do not need a fixed schema, and that usually avoid join operations.

Not sure I understand your question, so I'm not sure if this is the correct answer...

Have you looked at

  • MongoDB - MongoDB (from "humongous") is a scalable, high-performance, open source, schema-free, document-oriented database. MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide structured schemas and powerful queries).
  • CouchDB - Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution.

Simple, Easy, and Powerful - pick any two of the three..
