CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 179

A database administrator wants to populate a database with large amounts of data from an external source. Which of the following actions should be used to get the database populated?

Answer options

• A. EXPORT
• B. IMPORT
• C. SELECT
• D. ALTER

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, IMPORT, as it is specifically designed to bring data into a database from external sources. EXPORT is used to send data out of the database, SELECT retrieves data from the database, and ALTER modifies the structure of the database rather than populating it.
