I am looking for a detailed table with these properties:

parallax (p)
distance (d)
brightness (B)
luminosity (L)
temperature (T)
size (R)

Astronomers don't usually catalog size. With the rarest of exceptions, there's
not a good way to measure it. You can infer it based on luminosity and spectral
class, plus a good model......

Otherwise, there's this:

http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/star-catalog/cns3.html
Gliese Catalog of Nearby Stars, 3rd Edition
The CNS3 catalog contains all known stars as of 1991 that are within 25 parsecs of the Sun
The catalog contains every then-known star with a trigonometric parallax greater than or equal to 0.0390 arcsec


Probably not as directly useful:

http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/catalogs/bsc5.html
Yale Bright Star Catalog
These files contain version 5 of the Yale Bright Star Catalog of 9,110 stars,
including B1950 positions, proper motions, magnitudes, and, usually, spectral types
