Obviously you cannot add a column. And there is no need to add this as the downhill stat will be trained no matter which training type you select.
The table sta_training_excercise defines the training boost for a specific training type. 0 does not mean your rider does not train this stat but no extra training.
well, theoretical its possible.
you might export your save game with the "Full Editor V4" and add the additional column to "STA_training_exercise.xml" AND to "STA_training_exercise.xml.sch" AND to the "<Table TableName="STA_training_exercise" ... >" section, which is part of the "export.xml" (don't forget to change NumOriginalColumns="*" and NumColumns="*" in there too). then you have to export the modified xml files to a new database/save game while using the full editor.
but as Lachi told already ... i doubt, that the game will read and handle such additional column values. you can give it a try of course...
hmm, sorry ... but don't really get you at this point. what do you describe as "stupid" excatly? the point to respond to that question? or is there something wrong for the kind of solution i posted above?
if first ... i don't really care about the "why a question has been asked". i just try to give some how-to.
and as long there is no real evidence, that it doesn't work, i also prevent to call something "useless" or "stupid". of course the chance to succeed isn't that high in here. but "not that high" doesn't mean no chance at all. so why not get back to him, that he can try it and give a final answer to us perhaps?
If you really wondered, I don't think it is stupid to answer questions, else I would not have done it myself.
But giving the advice to alter the structure of the DB is stupid in general and even more after I just told him that you cannot do it, or don't you trust my word?
If you really want to know why:
- A computer program does not read columns it does not know.
- The full editor does not read the XML-Scheme to create the DB, the scheme is only used to save the data while in xml-format.

when you tell him, that it's not possible to alter the structure of the database ... then the answer is "Yes, i don't trust these words"
since i'm kinda sure, that its possible to add additional columns to the database.
and as i told ... if it's stupid in general to add additional columns to a cyanide database doesn't matter to me, because that wasn't his question. his question was simply, how to add such columns to a database.
anyway ... i also told him, that i doubt it's useful for something... didn't i?
