CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U61 Practice Question

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.
