Don't over-think this.  I realized one afternoon that what I actually
needed was really simple, and the benefits of a flat file that could be
maintained in git far outweighed any advantage SQL could offer.=20=20

So what we use is a flat file, one line per part, with tab-separated
fields.  We have templates for make for projects using geda-gaf+pcb and
lepton-eda+pcb-rnd that contain the logic to actually run the scripts.=20

As I indicated previously, our current parts database and all the
associated scripts live in the hw/altusmetrum repo at git.gag.com:

  http://git.gag.com/?p=3Dhw/altusmetrum;a=3Dsummary

Feel free to use any of this, all the scripts are under one or another
version of the GPL.  Or take the ideas you like and write something
completely different, whatever works for you!
