I'd like to second Franks request. Our company has an established internal parts database (mysql) from which I'd like to be able to use to stuff attributes with. I've looked at the raw schematic file format and it appears to be straight forward (except for auto placement on the schematic of the hidden text). Like gattrib, I see this database-attrib tool as a separate application. What functionality does libgeda possess toward this application that would compel me to use it? Some simple attrib parsing components?
