But When I check my database I found the note field:
select * from nge_skills_management_hr_skill;

----+-------------+--------------+------------+-------------+------+-----------+------+-----------+------------+--------
There are my source code:
skill.py
from openerp import api, fields, models
class hr_skill(models.Model):
_inherit = "hr.skill"
_name = "nge_skills_management.hr_skill"
note = fields.Selection([('a', '3'),('b', '2'),('c', '1')])
skill.xml

Can anyone help me please !!

Answer 1

In odoo specifying _name creates a new table in the database (the name of the module is the name of the database table with the . replaced with _).
The problem is you are using:
_name = 'nge_skills_management.hr_skill' which is going to create a new table with the fields in hr.skill and add a notes field to it not to the hr_skill module
what you want (Normal inheritance) is simply to specify _inherit='hr.skill' only. this will enable you add new fields or new methods to the hr.skill model
