Bug Description
almost all EDA schematics support placing parts, querying properties from a SQL database.
At least Part Number, Value, PCB Footprint and Schematic symbol name, should be extracted from the DB, but property list should be configurable.
In this manner a company can have a managed database of parts (organized by project, or so), and schematics can be validated against "authorized" components lists.
OrCAD Capture, Mentor DXdesign, Altium, and so on support this feature.
We use MySQL as remote parts database, but any compliant SQL DB is OK.
RFE: Let KiCAD be professional.

Things to note, feature should
-import/export into Kicad database from standardized formats including CSV with initial row detailing field
-be rapidly searchable by component type, value or other field
-user can add additional fields to database
Should be a stand alone module such as pcb calculator or footprint editor.
