A small business uses a database to manage its inventory. The office manager needs to check the quantity of a specific product in stock. Which action would allow the manager to access this information directly from the database?
Copy the database file to a USB drive and manually inspect the file.
Email the tech support team to ask for the inventory levels.
Open the database file in a text editor to search for the product data.
Use database management software to execute a query for the specific product.
Using database management software to execute a query is the correct method to access and retrieve specific data directly from a database. The query would typically use a SELECT statement for this purpose. Opening the database file in a text editor will not provide understandable or manageable data, especially if the database is large or complex. Emailing tech support would not be considered direct access and typically takes longer. Copying the database to a USB for manual inspection is not direct access to the data, as it involves unnecessary extra steps and does not guarantee readable data outside the database management system.
