-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.
-
-.. important:: Not all methods are supported by all database drivers,
- some of them may fail (and return FALSE) if the underlying
- driver does not support them.
-
-.. php:class:: CI_DB_driver
-
- .. php:method:: initialize()
-
- :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
- :rtype: bool
-
- Initialize database settings, establish a connection to
- the database.
-
- .. php:method:: db_connect($persistent = TRUE)
-
- :param bool $persistent: Whether to establish a persistent connection or a regular one
- :returns: Database connection resource/object or FALSE on failure
- :rtype: mixed
-
- Establish a connection with the database.
-
- .. note:: The returned value depends on the underlying
- driver in use. For example, a ``mysqli`` instance
- will be returned with the 'mysqli' driver.
-
- .. php:method:: db_pconnect()
-
- :returns: Database connection resource/object or FALSE on failure
- :rtype: mixed
-
- Establish a persistent connection with the database.
-
- .. note:: This method is just an alias for ``db_connect(TRUE)``.
-
- .. php:method:: reconnect()
-
- :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
- :rtype: bool
-
- Keep / reestablish the database connection if no queries
- have been sent for a length of time exceeding the
- server's idle timeout.
-
- .. php:method:: db_select([$database = ''])
-
- :param string $database: Database name
- :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
- :rtype: bool
-
- Select / switch the current database.
-
- .. php:method:: db_set_charset($charset)
-
- :param string $charset: Character set name
- :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
- :rtype: bool
-
- Set client character set.
-
- .. php:method:: platform()
-
- :returns: Platform name
- :rtype: string
-
- The name of the platform in use (mysql, mssql, etc...).
-
- .. php:method:: version()
-
- :returns: The version of the database being used
- :rtype: string
-
- Database version number.
-
- .. php:method:: query($sql[, $binds = FALSE[, $return_object = NULL]])
-
- :param string $sql: The SQL statement to execute
- :param array $binds: An array of binding data
- :param bool $return_object: Whether to return a result object or not
- :returns: TRUE for successful "write-type" queries, CI_DB_result instance (method chaining) on "query" success, FALSE on failure
- :rtype: mixed
-
- Execute an SQL query.
-
- Accepts an SQL string as input and returns a result object
- upon successful execution of a "read" type query.
-
- Returns:
-
- - Boolean TRUE upon successful execution of a "write type" queries
- - Boolean FALSE upon failure
- - ``CI_DB_result`` object for "read type" queries
-
- .. note: If 'db_debug' setting is set to TRUE, an error
- page will be displayed instead of returning FALSE
- on failures and script execution will stop.
-
- .. php:method:: simple_query($sql)
-
- :param string $sql: The SQL statement to execute
- :returns: Whatever the underlying driver's "query" function returns
- :rtype: mixed
-
- A simplified version of the ``query()`` method, appropriate
- for use when you don't need to get a result object or to
- just send a query to the database and not care for the result.

- during the last executed query.
-
- .. php:method:: trans_strict([$mode = TRUE])
-
- :param bool $mode: Strict mode flag
- :rtype: void
-
- Enable/disable transaction "strict" mode.
-
- When strict mode is enabled, if you are running multiple
- groups of transactions and one group fails, all subsequent
- groups will be rolled back.
-
- If strict mode is disabled, each group is treated
- autonomously, meaning a failure of one group will not
- affect any others.
-
- .. php:method:: trans_off()
-
- :rtype: void
-
- Disables transactions at run-time.
-
- .. php:method:: trans_start([$test_mode = FALSE])

- :param array $binds: An array of binding data
- :returns: The updated SQL statement
- :rtype: string
-
- Compiles an SQL query with the bind values passed for it.
-
- .. php:method:: is_write_type($sql)
-
- :param string $sql: The SQL statement
- :returns: TRUE if the SQL statement is of "write type", FALSE if not
- :rtype: bool
-
- Determines if a query is of a "write" type (such as
- INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) or "read" type (i.e. SELECT).
-
- .. php:method:: elapsed_time([$decimals = 6])
-
- :param int $decimals: The number of decimal places
- :returns: The aggregate query elapsed time, in microseconds
- :rtype: string
-
- Calculate the aggregate query elapsed time.
-
- .. php:method:: total_queries()
-
- :returns: The total number of queries executed
- :rtype: int
-

- executed so far.
-
- .. php:method:: last_query()
-
- :returns: The last query executed
- :rtype: string

- Returns the last query that was executed.
-
- .. php:method:: escape($str)
-
- :param mixed $str: The value to escape, or an array of multiple ones
- :returns: The escaped value(s)
- :rtype: mixed
-
- Escapes input data based on type, including boolean and
- NULLs.
-
- .. php:method:: escape_str($str[, $like = FALSE])
-
- :param mixed $str: A string value or array of multiple ones
- :param bool $like: Whether or not the string will be used in a LIKE condition
- :returns: The escaped string(s)
- :rtype: mixed
-
- Escapes string values.
-
- .. warning:: The returned strings do NOT include quotes
- around them.
-
- .. php:method:: escape_like_str($str)
-
- :param mixed $str: A string value or array of multiple ones
- :returns: The escaped string(s)
- :rtype: mixed
-
- Escape LIKE strings.
-
- Similar to ``escape_str()``, but will also escape the ``%``
- and ``_`` wildcard characters, so that they don't cause
- false-positives in LIKE conditions.
-
- .. important:: The ``escape_like_str()`` method uses '!' (exclamation mark)
- to escape special characters for *LIKE* conditions. Because this
- method escapes partial strings that you would wrap in quotes
- yourself, it cannot automatically add the ``ESCAPE '!'``
- condition for you, and so you'll have to manually do that.

- :returns: The primary key name, FALSE if none

- :returns: The modified item
- :rtype: string
-
- Takes a column or table name (optionally with an alias)
- and applies the configured *dbprefix* to 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.
-
- This method is used extensively by the Query Builder class. \ No newline at end of file
