In a general way, the meta store is not kept up to date because AFAIK no database supports it (no callback API exists to signal schema changes). However, I plan to make it update itself when I can identify that schema statements have been run (such as ALTER...), but it's for post 4.0. In the meanwhile I'll correct the doc to make sure there is no misunderstanding. Cheers, Vivien
