This may be the sort of problem that would best be handled by a proper database server. The folks writing RDBMSes have been tackling problems like this for decades now, and have some useful techniques; rather than reinvent the wheel, you can just leverage their efforts by putting everything into (say) MySQL or PostgreSQL. (Of course, that makes things more complicated too, but should at least get you past this problem.)
