- :doc:`Query Builder <database/query_builder>` changes include:
- Renamed the Active Record class to Query Builder to remove confusion with the Active Record design pattern.
- - Added the ability to insert objects with insert_batch().
- - Added new methods that return the SQL string of queries without executing them: get_compiled_select(), get_compiled_insert(), get_compiled_update(), get_compiled_delete().
- - Added an optional parameter that allows to disable escaping (useful for custom fields) for methods join(), order_by(), where_in(), or_where_in(), where_not_in(), or_where_not_in().
- - Added support for join() with multiple conditions.
- - Added support for USING in join().

- - Improved version() implementation so that drivers that have a native function to get the version number don't have to be defined in the core DB_driver class.

- - Removed protect_identifiers() and renamed internal method _protect_identifiers() to it instead - it was just an alias.
- - Renamed internal method _escape_identifiers() to escape_identifiers().
- - Updated escape_identifiers() to accept an array of fields as well as strings.
