Detailed Description

A database library table will be mapped to a sub-library provided by the database library entry in the KiCad symbol/footprint library table.

A single database library config file (managed by this class) may contain more than one table mapping, and each will have its own nickname.

The LIB_ID for parts placed from this library will be constructed from the nickname of the database library itself, plus the nickname of the particular sub-library and the value of the key column for the placed part.

For example, if a database library is configured with the nickname "PartsDB" and it provides a table called "Capacitors", with key_col set to "Part Number", the LIB_ID for a capacitor placed from this table will look something like PartsDB-Capacitors:CAP-001
