nope, you must NOT do that this way

the good news is that, in 3.2, there is will be a way to bulkedit items.
- in SQL => SELECT barcode FROM items WHERE itype='AAC'; => run report
=> export CSV
- go to tools / bulkedit > upload the previous file > define the new
itype > validate > done !

maybe you can tell your boss to wait a little for 3.2 to be available ?
