I know we can Enable CDR from Settings -->CDR, but I believe we can just get the call data record that is made after the time I enable CDR, right? But I already have many records in DB, how can I retrieve them? Can these be retrieved from 3CX's Database directly.
Yes, I understand, and I wouldn't like too if there is any way that I can retrieve these history data out. Is there any way that can do?
And I will not do any other operations but just read these history records, and it will be one time operation. After the initial pull of data, we will enable CDR, and read CDR files to get information. Any suggestion?

As Stefan made quite clear, accessing the database directly is strongly discouraged. Unfortunately, as you have noted, there is no way to get historical information except by accessing the database. You might consider our 3CX Exporter add-on for this purpose. It uses a very carefully crafted read-only connection to the PostgreSQL database, and has been in use around the world for about 6 -7 years without any issues. In addition, it also can automatically process the CDR files and place all this data in a SQL or MySQL database.
