I have to disagree with Christian because an item's item_id in the
database is NOT the same as an item's Handle. An item's Handle (in
Dspace terminology) is something like 123456789/123, while the item_id
is a single number (e.g 75) which does not have to be the same as the
postfix part of the Handle (i.e. an item in your repository may have
item_id 75 in the database while it's Handle is 123456789/123.)
The ItemImport tool automatically determines whether you've passed it a
Handle or an id:
// is the ID a handle?
if (collections[i].indexOf('/') != -1)
{
// string has a / so it must be a handle - try and
resolve
[....]
}
// not a handle, try and treat it as an integer
collection
// database ID
In other words, if the passed argument contains a slash character, it's
treated as a handle, otherwise as a database ID.

I guess it is just the same. When a handle gets
created, simply put, this is the row number in
the database. It is just a different perspective.
If you look at the URL, you will call this number
the handle, if you are the backend guy, you look
at the db and say it is the collection ID.
Bye, Christian
