Adding a Custom field to the products table

How do i do this exactly?
This functionality requires a custom field to have been added to the products database table.
Am i suppose to go into Data Base/Products. and go to a product and add a field there? Do you have specifics?

Generally, adding a field to a database table would be done using phpMyAdmin in your hosting control panel.

Sorry, but if you have to ask that question, you should probably hire someone to do the work for you.
