Q. How do I know if the citation from a database is correct for the citation style I am using?

We have tired to make that easy for you in our citation guides. Both Cite APA Styles and Cite MLA Style (see links below). Just go to the Grab a Citation page of either guide. You'll find a list of all our databases that provide citations, how to get the citations  and what you need to do to tweak them for your paper.
