+DB Driver Reference
+###################
+
+This is the platform-independent base DB implementation class.
+This class will not be called directly. Rather, the adapter
+class for the specific database will extend and instantiate it.
+
+The how-to material for this has been split over several articles.
+This article is intended to be a reference for them.
+
+.. class:: CI_DB_driver
+
+ .. method:: initialize()
+
+ :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+ Initialize Database Settings;
+ establish a connection to the database.
+
+ .. method:: db_pconnect()
+
+ :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+ Establish a persistent database connection
+
+ .. method:: reconnect()
+
+ :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+ Keep / reestablish the db connection if no queries have been
+ sent for a length of time exceeding the server's idle timeout.
+
+ This is only available in drivers that support it.
+
+ .. method:: db_select()
+
+ :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+ Select database
+
+ .. method:: db_set_charset($charset)
+
+ :param string $charset: Character set name
+ :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+ Set client character set
+
+ .. method:: platform()
+
+ :returns: Platform name
+ :rtype: string
+
+ The name of the platform in use (mysql, mssql, etc...)
+
+ .. method:: version()
+
+ :returns: The version of the database being used.
+ :rtype: string
+
+ Database version number
+
+ .. method:: query($sql[, $binds = FALSE[, $return_object = NULL]]])
+
+ :param string $sql: The SQL statement to execute
+ :param array $binds: An array of binding data
+ :param bool $return_object: Character set name
+ :returns: True on "update" success, DB_result object on "query" success, FALSE on failure
+ :rtype: mixed
+
+ Execute the query
+
+ Accepts an SQL string as input and returns a result object
+ upon
+ successful execution of a "read" type query. Returns boolean
+ TRUE
+ upon successful execution of a "write" type query.
+ Returns boolean
+ FALSE upon failure, and if the $db_debug variable is set
+ to TRUE
+ will raise an error.
+
+ .. method:: load_rdriver()
+
+ :returns: The DB_result object appropriate for the driver in use
+ :rtype: DB_result
+
+ Load the result drivers
+
+ .. method:: simple_query($sql)

+
+ Simple Query
+
+ This is a simplified version of the query() function. Internally
+ we only use it when running transaction commands since they do
+ not require all the features of the main query() function.
+
+ .. method:: trans_off()
+
+ :rtype: void
+
+ Disable Transactions.

+ :rtype: void
+
+ Enable/disable Transaction Strict Mode.
+
+ When strict mode is enabled, if you are running multiple
+ groups of
+ transactions, if one group fails all groups will be rolled back.
+ If strict mode is disabled, each group is treated autonomously,
+ meaning
+ a failure of one group will not affect any others.

+
+ :param boolean $test_mode: TRUE for testing mode
+ :rtype: void
+
+ Start Transaction.

+
+ Lets you retrieve the transaction flag to determine if it
+ has failed.
+
+ .. method:: compile_binds($sql, $binds)
+
+ :param string $sql: The SQL statement
+ :param array $binds: An array of binding data
+ :returns: The updated SQL statement
+ :rtype: string

+
+ This function is used extensively by the Query Builder class,
+ and by
+ a couple functions in this class.
+ It takes a column or table name (optionally with an alias)
+ and inserts
+ the table prefix onto it. Some logic is necessary in order
+ to deal with
+ column names that include the path. Consider a query like this::
+
+ SELECT * FROM hostname.database.table.column AS c FROM hostname.database.table
+
+ Or a query with aliasing::
+
+ SELECT m.member_id, m.member_name FROM members AS m
+
+ Since the column name can include up to four segments
+ (host, DB, table, column)
+ or also have an alias prefix, we need to do a bit of work
+ to figure this out and
+ insert the table prefix (if it exists) in the proper position,
+ and escape only
+ the correct identifiers. \ No newline at end of file
