I'm not sure, but maybe you'll need to query your database directly instead of relying on Bacula to simplify that process. *This is not an educated answer, just my novice guess.*
I see bacula bconsole has a 'query' command that I believe passes SQL query language commands on to the relevant DB server. Might want to look into that, possibly in the bacula console operators manual. I've used the PDF copy of the documentation because it's easier to search. Slightly off-topic: I think when it comes to interacting with your DB server of choice, bacula is deliberately vague because they expect you to know how to admin the DB server yourself. I think they're also vague sometimes because the user could be using any of several different DB servers (Sqlite, MySQL/mariadb, postgresql). (Postgresql is the currently recommended DB server of choice.) I know when it came time to restore a database backup there weren't any Bacula-centric instructions. Why? Because the DB restore wasn't done through Bacula. It was done using postgresql psql console. It was definitely weird though, I found instructions everywhere in Bacula docs for how to back up the database, and nothing about how to restore it. In the end, the restore was easy.
