The database is the master copy, the metadata.opf is a backup copy and can be used when restoring your library. Unless you use Polish, ModifyEpub or a similar tool, the content.opf file internal to the epub is not modified in the library. When you Send to device for Save to disk, the content.opf will be updated to match the metadata in the database.

Hope this is of some help to you.
