Installation does not modify database

I've copy-pasted my talk on the mailing list:

The reason will be that the module maintainer changed the schema, but didn't provide an update function in their hook_install to make sure upgrades happened cleanly. If they had done this, it wouldn've been taken care of with the normal update.php run. This should really be filed as an issue on that projects issue queue, to make sure it gets fixed for other users.

Subject: Re: [support] database fields not present

I've tried just that, but the phpMyAdmin didn't like the query, so I added the trx_id column myself with the parameters specified.

However, now this error arises:

* user warning: Unknown column 'status' in 'field list' query: INSERT INTO uc_payment_ideal (order_id, trx_id, status, received) VALUES (13, '0050000553960739', 'OPEN', 1278603694) in /home/vin/domains/winkel.varkensinnood.nl/public_html/modules/uc_ideal_pro/uc_ideal_pro.module on line 271.
* user warning: Unknown column 'status' in 'field list' query: SELECT trx_id, status FROM uc_payment_ideal WHERE order_id = 13 in /home/vin/domains/winkel.varkensinnood.nl/public_html/modules/uc_ideal_pro/uc_ideal_pro.module on line 286.

it looks like the field 'status' and 'received' should also be added..

But any idea why these fields weren't installed by the module? And why isn't it possible to do it via drupal again?

Thanks!
