+<h1>Database Utilities Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Database Utilities Class contains functions that help you manage your database.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> This class must be initialized independently since it is a separate class from the main Database class.
+More info below...</p>
+
+
+<h2>Initializing the Utilities Class</h2>
+
+<p>To initialize this class please use the following code:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->dbutil()</code>
+
+<p>You can also autoload this class from within your <dfn>config/autoload.php</dfn> file by specifying <kbd>dbutil</kbd> in the <samp>$autoload['libraries']</samp> array.</p>
+
+<p>Once initialized you will access the functions using the <dfn>$this->dbutil</dfn> object:</p>
+
+<code>$this->dbutil->some_function()</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->create_database('db_name')</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to create a database using the name specified in the first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:</p>
+
+<code>if ($this->dbutil->create_database('my_db'))<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Database created!';<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->drop_database('table_name')</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to drop a database using the table name specified in the first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:</p>
+
+<code>if ($this->dbutil->drop_database('my_db'))<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Database deleted!';<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->list_databases()</h2>
+
+<p>Returns an array of database names:</p>
+
+
+<code>
+$dbs = $this->dbutil->list_databases();<br />
+<br />
+foreach($dbs as $db)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $db;<br />
+}</code>
+
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->list_tables();</h2>
+
+<p>Returns an array containing the names of all the tables in the database you are currently connected to. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$tables = $this->dbutil->list_tables()<br />
+<br />
+foreach ($tables as $table)<br />
+{<br />
+ echo $table;<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->table_exists();</h2>
+
+<p>Sometimes it's helpful to know whether a particular table exists before running an operation on it.
+Returns a boolean TRUE/FALSE. Usage example:</p>
+
+<code>
+if ($this->dbutil->table_exists('table_name'))<br />
+{<br />
+ // some code...<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<p>Note: Replace <em>table_name</em> with the name of the table you are looking for.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->optimize_table('table_name');</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to optimize a table using the table name specified in the first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:</p>
+
+<code>
+if ($this->dbutil->optimize_table('table_name'))<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Success!'<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> Not all database platforms support table optimization.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->dbutil->repair_table('table_name');</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to repair a table using the table name specified in the first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:</p>
+
+<code>
+if ($this->dbutil->optimize_table('table_name'))<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'Success!'<br />
+}
+</code>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> Not all database platforms support table repairs.</p>
