If you modified a MediaId in the Media table and you don't understand the full 
details of how the database is organized and linked together (e.g. where to 
find *all* references to the MediaId), you have probably damaged your 
database.

While certain fields can be modified directly via SQL, MediaIds are not one. 
For the record, I discourage all users from doing similar things, and I can 
assure you, it is not something that I would personally do.

To the best of my knowledge the only place Bacula ever asks for a MediaId is 
when it asks you to select a particular Volume during the update command (and 
possibly some other ones).  

If you decide to respond to this with a bit more concrete information, please 
read the Support page on the bacula web site (www.bacula.org -> Support) 
first.
