Help, Adding something to the database in the game creator

Ok, what I am trying to do in all reality is add a copy of the skills tab while having its own stat. I am trying like crazy to copy every where it says skill and pasting it again then changing every where it says skill to special. Is it possable to add to the database with script is what I am asking. Or am I just wasting my time here?
 
So you want a exact copy of the skills tab, but with a stat for each skill? Or do you want to change the name of the 'Skill' option to 'Special'? I really don't get what your asking. Though either thing can be done by scripting the second question is the easier to do, post again clarifying what you want and I'll try and help.
 
Ok, Skills have the stat MP to control how much it is used. I want to make the samething for the special. I was taking everywhere that it said skill in the script, coping it, pasting it and then changing the word skill in the copy to special. I want to add another tab to the database, and a new stat SP that would work like the MP.
 
Are specials just skills with a different version of mp? If so, just make specials on the skills tab, then take each of their ids, put them in an array, and put a conditional in where mp is subtracted so that if the skill id is in your array it subtracts from the "specials mp". Sorry, if this isn't what you were looking for.
