It shouldn't be difficult but unless there is a large database of parts that you can import it may not be cost effective. For resistors, capacitors and inductors I would populate the database using Digikey tables. They are not difficult to parse and you would immediately have all of your passives. I have not looked at the Digikey logic IC tables but they not be too difficult. Using the Digikey tables lets you populate a vendor price table as well.
