Default Having another column

I am creating a table, the heading are FIELD NAME - DATA TYPE - FIELD SIZE -
DESCRIPTION. My problem is the table have everything except the field size.
How can I add another column for the field size or do I have to put the
field size in data type.

The field size is only applicable to certain datatypes: a Date is always a
double float number, for example.

You can set the size of Text or Number fields by selecting the field in the
table design grid and changing it in the field properties in the lower left
corner.
