Thanks for suggesting this feature!
Since backend plugins in general offer no introspection into the data they have stored I think this functionality would have to be specific to the database backend. Also, due to the denormalized way in which the data is indexed in the database backend, it would take a bit of work to implement this. Therefore, while it certainly seems like it could come handy from time to time, I’ll have to wait until there is either more interest, or I have more time, or someone else steps up and provides an initial MR for this.
Still, thanks again for the suggestion! - 🇩🇰Denmark ressa Copenhagen
Thanks for the positive approach, I very much appreciate it! And I do agree -- it's more of a "nice to have, than a need to have" -- and since it will take some effort to build, more user interest would probably be great, before spending resources on this.
I have attempted to expand the issue Summary, based on your feedback, feel of course free to correct anything. Thanks!

I think we should be able to implement this just using Drupal’s generic database layer, so I don’t think we’ll need to add support for specific DMBSs.
But otherwise looks good, thanks! - 🇩🇰Denmark ressa Copenhagen
That's fantastic -- it's great how versatile the structure of Drupal is, thanks for the update!
