You are responsible for updating inventory records after a shipment has arrived. To accurately reflect the new stock levels, what direct/manual method would you use to update the existing records in the company's relational database?
Opening the database file in a text editor and manually changing the record values.
Editing a spreadsheet that is used to bulk import data at a later time.
Using a file transfer protocol to replace the database file with an updated version.
Executing an SQL UPDATE statement through the database's command-line interface.
To perform direct updates to records in a relational database, you would typically use a command-line interface provided by the database management system and issue specific SQL commands such as UPDATE, assuming you have the necessary permissions. Text editors, spreadsheets, or file-transfer methods do not directly modify the live database tables and are therefore unsuitable for this task.
