=>
=> Bconsole already performs SQL queries for all commands that would issue a
=> long listing, right?
=>
=> SQL was meant for filtering & relating data ... Why not add some filter
=> param that is added to the SQL being sent to the backend? something like th=
=> e

That's great...if you already know SQL.

 
Makes sense, though I hardly think most people would think it's voodoo to use a limited subset of SQL bits in include / exclude. But i could be wrong.
 
I'm guessing that most system administrators who are managing bacula are much
more familiar with shell tools & paradigms than with SQL. I wish I knew SQL,
but even more, I'd prefer to send the output of bconsole to tools that I
already know (grep, perl, awk, etc.).



How would this integrate with a tool like bat ? ie, it wouldn't allow you to integrate it easily with bat (for on-the-server processing of the filtering), would it?
