Subject: to use AR or not?

Hmmm I've been scratching my head at this for a little while and maybe
I'm not thinking it through correctly.

I'm converting a portion of this application to Ruby and I have these
data tables that aren't in a database.  Here's a sample:

rate_type  location   algorithm  rate
BCD        Here       simple     1.2
ATD        There      fractal    4.3
STE        Elsewhere  binary     3.2
TSO        Really Far polyamory  0.1

I need to be able to create a data structure that I can search easily.
Enabling bulk inserts of some sort would be nice as well.

At the moment I'm looking at activerecord-tableless.  Unfortunately I'm
not entirely sure how to create a bunch of activerecords (not just one
at a time)

Is there a better alternative?

Thanks in advance,

M
