+unbuffered_row($type)
+=====================
+
+This function returns a single result row without prefetching the whole result in memory as row() does.
+If your query has more than one row, it returns the current row and moves the internal data pointer ahead.
+The result is returned as $type could be 'object' (default) or 'array' that will return an associative array.
+

+
+ $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");

+ while ($row = $query->unbuffered_row())
+ {
+ echo $row->title;
+ echo $row->name;
