Hi, Helix84,
So, if I've got this right, importing data into DSpace, the first two
items should look like this in the CSV file::
id,collection,
"+","123456789",
so that DSpace will auto-increment and the "handle" will be correct?
The AWK program works just fine to make the original data look right
(double quotes around strings and comma field separators).
A side note to Stuart Yeates, the AWK I use is what you might want to
call (or maybe not) "real" AWK built from source (not gawk which I find
too fiddled-with for my taste) from Brian Kernighan's web page (he's the
K in AWK). Unix systems distinguish original AWK as "oawk" and new AWK
as "nawk," the version that redefined the language with the publication
of "The AWK Programming Language" ISBN 0-201-07981-X in 1981. As it
happens, nawk handles 8-bit characters just fine on my Slackware 64-bit
Linux systems. I got used to nawk doing development on Solaris some
years ago and, well, I just stick with the "standard" and don't have any
problems going between Solaris and Slackware that way. Just in case you
might be interested, Brian Kernighan's Home Page
<http://www.cs.princeton.edu/%7Ebwk/> at Princeton; it's free download
and builds properly on any Linux system with standard development
libraries installed.
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma but that's my story and I'm
stickin' to it.

This is just the value of the item_id column of the item table and is

the collection is 123456789/7 (I was fiddling around trying to get
it work, probably 6 times); is that number going to be something
anything will care about later? Should I make it something else for
an initial load? Can it be reset to 123456789/1 somehow (or should I
just use some thing else)?
123456789 is the handle prefix, defined by "handle.prefix" in
dspace.cfg. You shouldn't change it unless you want to actually
register with Handle.net.
Handle.net is meant to be a globally unique identifier. 123456789 is
just the default value until you decide to set up the global part.
7 is the handle postfix and is maintained locally. What DSpace does is
treat it sequentially, so even if you delete one, it never gets
assigned again.
Check out the handle table and the handle_seq sequence. If you want to
start over, a handy shortcut is
dspace/etc/postgres/update-sequences.sql
