    If you have an OLB file with the required data, open that and Tools>Export Properties, Part Properties, you will get a tab-delimited text, EXP, file of the properties, fix this text data with a text editor to match you requirements and database, remember that the "schematic part" will just be a text field of the name of the symbol, also, with CIS you will be able to cut the number of passive component symbols drastically, compared to a "graphical" library, you will likely need a single resistor, two capacitors, one inductor and so on, since CIS references the symbol and then applies all the properties from the database. Check that you have "at least" the four required properties for any parts added to the database. This SQL will import a "DOS formatted" CSV into a table:

     USE <database>;

    LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'SET_THIS_PATH/Resistor.txt' INTO TABLE Resistor
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
    LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';

    You could tweak that for tab delimited text, or other text formats. There are plenty of MySQL resources that cover this activity.
