You will need to use the Preferences ->Define your own columns feature to define additional columns.

Examples: a Series column to define the order in which a group of books must be read - e.g CS101 [1], CS101 [2] etc; a Date column to define the date by which the books must be read; a Yes/No column to indicate whether a book has been read -- etc.

i still hope my function could be implemented

What function?

Have you read the calibre User Manual, have you watched the Video Tutorials

Some of the optional plugins might be of use, see ==>> Index of plugins - e.g. View Manager, Job Spy (don't be mislead by the name), and Calibre Spy.

As might some Template language features ==>> The calibre template language

@transistor@: You can also look at the Reading List plugin. That plus some custom columns will probably cover everything that you want.

@transistor@ (are you a former Bell Labs employee?

)
Calibre has the option to do Tri-state logic. All you have to do is adjust you thinking, to make use without greatly expanding (bloating) your column count

Done Reading: Blank, not read. Date <2001, aborted/abandoned. Date >2000, finished

Edited (touch up to my liking): Blank, not touched
VC (started this with sigil flightcrew) T, passed (inc minor warns). F failed (has red flags). Blank not checked

I also have a User_Tags for marking infrequent found issues.

wide (flat file looking) tables are slow and bulky, avoid when possible

I still am amazed how well Kovid did for the initial Calibre2 DB structure and application features. Most of our current suggestions are to now fill edge usage cases
