1. I Wold Like To Know The Difference Between Build Data Base And Index Song File

Importing songs using the Build Database gives you less control over the naming of the files, it will name them exactly as the file name, this method has been improved with 5.08 as the "Define field order" button was added. Also once started it will index all songs that match the settings you selected so if there are more than 99 tracks it will automatically give it a BookId and Disc ID that may not be of your choice.
This dialog is also used for rebuilding databases that have already been indexed. Once imported you can only edit the through the Edit Dialog.
Using the index Hard Drive files dialog allows you to edit before importing and allows you to view up to 99 tracks per Book Id before actually importing.
I have a video on importing Hard Drive files Here:

Explaining some of the differences but the video was using 5.07 before the define field order was added to this dialog.

Once your songs are imported you can not change the Book Id, it is tied to that songs Disc Id.
If you want to change a Book ID of a disc that already imported you will need to either delete the whole of that disc first via the edit dialog then re import it giving it a different book Id before importing it.
If it is a Hard drive file again you would have to delete the individual file via the edit dialog then you should be able to reimport it using another Book Id but it can't be a Book Id that is already in use, so you can't tie it to a previosly imported book ID unless you re-import all the other tracks that were using that Book Id.

I'm not sure on this but I believe 99999 book root Id's each book root can contain up to 99 tracks so the highest book Id would be 9999999.
I dought you would run out of Id's
