Export Database ID and update External ID

Question

I have lots of Product Variants already in the database and I want to update their 'External ID' to their barcode. Therefor I have a few questions:
1. Is it a good idea to use the barcode as the 'External ID'?
2. How can I add the 'Database ID' to an import-compatible export?
Is it 'ID (.id)'? If not, then which one is it? Why can't I add 'ID (.id)' to an import-compatible export? I can only add it if I uncheck 'import-compatible export'.  3. When I make a Product Variants import-compatible expo

You cannot update the External ID.
You can set it when you create a record, or Odoo will assign one when you first export it.
The database ID is a number.  It is assigned by Odoo and (as you'd expect) you can't update it either, so it makes sense that it is not included in an import-compatible export.
The normal use of External ID is for the record id from another system.  If your barcodes never change maybe you could use that, but there's already a barcode field in the database.
