First answer:  You can't tell THIS Bacula to use mysql instead of
Postgres if it was built to use postgres.

Second answer:  Look at your available Bacula packages.  There may be a
choice of a bacula-postgresql package or a bacula-mysql package.
Ubuntu, if I recall correctly, is an example of a distribution that
offers both.

Third answer:  Many people on this list will assure you that postgresql
works very well for Bacula.  Is using it an option?

Fourth answer:  If you have no bacula-mysql package available and
running Bacula with postgresql is not an option, then you will have no
choice but to build it yourself from source.  This will require you to
first install all the required tools, -dev packages, and build dependencies.
