Do NOT load this class manually. - -.. important:: Not all query result functions are available when you - use caching. Please read this page carefully. - -Enabling Caching -================ - -Caching is enabled in three steps: - -- Create a writable directory on your server where the cache files can - be stored. -- Set the path to your cache folder in your - application/config/database.php file. -- Enable the caching feature, either globally by setting the preference - in your application/config/database.php file, or manually as - described below. - -Once enabled, caching will happen automatically whenever a page is -loaded that contains database queries. - -How Does Caching Work? -====================== - -CodeIgniter's query caching system happens dynamically when your pages -are viewed. When caching is enabled, the first time a web page is -loaded, the query result object will be serialized and stored in a text -file on your server. The next time the page is loaded the cache file -will be used instead of accessing your database. Your database usage can -effectively be reduced to zero for any pages that have been cached. - -Only read-type (SELECT) queries can be cached, since these are the only -type of queries that produce a result. Write-type (INSERT, UPDATE, etc.) -queries, since they don't generate a result, will not be cached by the -system. - -Cache files DO NOT expire. Any queries that have been cached will remain -cached until you delete them. The caching system permits you clear -caches associated with individual pages, or you can delete the entire -collection of cache files. Typically you'll want to use the housekeeping -functions described below to delete cache files after certain events -take place, like when you've added new information to your database. - -Will Caching Improve Your Site's Performance? -============================================= - -Getting a performance gain as a result of caching depends on many -factors. If you have a highly optimized database under very little load, -you probably won't see a performance boost. If your database is under -heavy use you probably will see an improved response, assuming your -file-system is not overly taxed. Remember that caching simply changes -how your information is retrieved, shifting it from being a database -operation to a file-system one. - -In some clustered server environments, for example, caching may be -detrimental since file-system operations are so intense. On single -servers in shared environments, caching will probably be beneficial. -Unfortunately there is no single answer to the question of whether you -should cache your database. It really depends on your situation. - -How are Cache Files Stored? -=========================== - -CodeIgniter places the result of EACH query into its own cache file. -Sets of cache files are further organized into sub-folders corresponding -to your controller functions. To be precise, the sub-folders are named -identically to the first two segments of your URI (the controller class -name and function name). - -For example, let's say you have a controller called blog with a function -called comments that contains three queries. The caching system will -create a cache folder called blog+comments, into which it will write -three cache files. - -If you use dynamic queries that change based on information in your URI -(when using pagination, for example), each instance of the query will -produce its own cache file. It's possible, therefore, to end up with -many times more cache files than you have queries. - -Managing your Cache Files -========================= - -Since cache files do not expire, you'll need to build deletion routines -into your application. For example, let's say you have a blog that -allows user commenting. Whenever a new comment is submitted you'll want -to delete the cache files associated with the controller function that -serves up your comments. You'll find two delete functions described -below that help you clear data. - -Not All Database Functions Work with Caching -============================================ - -Lastly, we need to point out that the result object that is cached is a -simplified version of the full result object. For that reason, some of -the query result functions are not available for use. - -The following functions ARE NOT available when using a cached result -object: - -- num_fields() -- field_names() -- field_data() -- free_result() - -Also, the two database resources (result_id and conn_id) are not -available when caching, since result resources only pertain to run-time -operations. - -****************** -Function Reference -****************** - -$this->db->cache_on() / $this->db->cache_off() -================================================ - -Manually enables/disables caching. This can be useful if you want to -keep certain queries from being cached. Example:: - - // Turn caching on - $this->db->cache_on(); - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mytable"); - - // Turn caching off for this one query - $this->db->cache_off(); - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE member_id = '$current_user'"); - - // Turn caching back on - $this->db->cache_on(); - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM another_table"); - -$this->db->cache_delete() -========================== - -Deletes the cache files associated with a particular page. This is -useful if you need to clear caching after you update your database. - -The caching system saves your cache files to folders that correspond to -the URI of the page you are viewing. For example, if you are viewing a -page at example.com/index.php/blog/comments, the caching system will put -all cache files associated with it in a folder called blog+comments. To -delete those particular cache files you will use:: - - $this->db->cache_delete('blog', 'comments'); - -If you do not use any parameters the current URI will be used when -determining what should be cleared. - -$this->db->cache_delete_all() -=============================== - -Clears all existing cache files.

Most users will rarely use this function. - -It returns whatever the database drivers' "execute" function returns. -That typically is TRUE/FALSE on success or failure for write type queries -such as INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE statements (which is what it really -should be used for) and a resource/object on success for queries with -fetchable results. - -:: - - if ($this->db->simple_query('YOUR QUERY')) - { - echo "Success!"; - } - else - { - echo "Query failed!"; - } - -.. note:: PostgreSQL's ``pg_exec()`` function (for example) always - returns a resource on success, even for write type queries. - So take that in mind if you're looking for a boolean value. - -*************************************** -Working with Database prefixes manually -*************************************** - -If you have configured a database prefix and would like to prepend it to -a table name for use in a native SQL query for example, then you can use -the following:: - - $this->db->dbprefix('tablename'); // outputs prefix_tablename - - -If for any reason you would like to change the prefix programatically -without needing to create a new connection, you can use this method:: - - $this->db->set_dbprefix('newprefix_'); - $this->db->dbprefix('tablename'); // outputs newprefix_tablename - - -********************** -Protecting identifiers -********************** - -In many databases it is advisable to protect table and field names - for -example with backticks in MySQL. **Query Builder queries are -automatically protected**, however if you need to manually protect an -identifier you can use:: - - $this->db->protect_identifiers('table_name'); - -.. important:: Although the Query Builder will try its best to properly - quote any field and table names that you feed it, note that it - is NOT designed to work with arbitrary user input. DO NOT feed it - with unsanitized user data. - -This function will also add a table prefix to your table, assuming you -have a prefix specified in your database config file. To enable the -prefixing set TRUE (boolean) via the second parameter:: - - $this->db->protect_identifiers('table_name', TRUE); - - -**************** -Escaping Queries -**************** - -It's a very good security practice to escape your data before submitting -it into your database. CodeIgniter has three methods that help you do -this: - -#. **$this->db->escape()** This function determines the data type so - that it can escape only string data. It also automatically adds - single quotes around the data so you don't have to: - :: - - $sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES(".$this->db->escape($title).")"; - -#. **$this->db->escape_str()** This function escapes the data passed to - it, regardless of type. Most of the time you'll use the above - function rather than this one. Use the function like this: - :: - - $sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES('".$this->db->escape_str($title)."')"; - -#. **$this->db->escape_like_str()** This method should be used when - strings are to be used in LIKE conditions so that LIKE wildcards - ('%', '\_') in the string are also properly escaped. - -:: - - $search = '20% raise'; - $sql = "SELECT id FROM table WHERE column LIKE '%" . - $this->db->escape_like_str($search)."%' ESCAPE '!'"; - -.. 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. - - -************** -Query Bindings -************** - -Bindings enable you to simplify your query syntax by letting the system -put the queries together for you. Consider the following example:: - - $sql = "SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = ? AND status = ? AND author = ?"; - $this->db->query($sql, array(3, 'live', 'Rick')); - -The question marks in the query are automatically replaced with the -values in the array in the second parameter of the query function. - -Binding also work with arrays, which will be transformed to IN sets:: - - $sql = "SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id IN ? AND status = ? AND author = ?"; - $this->db->query($sql, array(array(3, 6), 'live', 'Rick')); - -The resulting query will be:: - - SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id IN (3,6) AND status = 'live' AND author = 'Rick' - -The secondary benefit of using binds is that the values are -automatically escaped, producing safer queries. You don't have to -remember to manually escape data; the engine does it automatically for -you. - -*************** -Handling Errors -*************** - -**$this->db->error();** - -If you need to get the last error that has occurred, the error() method -will return an array containing its code and message. Here's a quick -example:: - - if ( ! $this->db->simple_query('SELECT `example_field` FROM `example_table`')) - { - $error = $this->db->error(); // Has keys 'code' and 'message' - } - diff --git a/user_guide_src/source/database/query_builder.rst b/user_guide_src/source/database/query_builder.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 83721c8b5..000000000 --- a/user_guide_src/source/database/query_builder.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1571 +0,0 @@ -################### -Query Builder Class -################### - -CodeIgniter gives you access to a Query Builder class.

The reason this worked is because the query has not been executed -using `$this->db->insert()` which resets values or reset directly using -`$this->db->reset_query()`. - -.. note:: This method doesn't work for batched inserts. - -**$this->db->insert_batch()** - -Generates an insert string based on the data you supply, and runs the -query. You can either pass an **array** or an **object** to the -function. Here is an example using an array:: - - $data = array( - array( - 'title' => 'My title', - 'name' => 'My Name', - 'date' => 'My date' - ), - array( - 'title' => 'Another title', - 'name' => 'Another Name', - 'date' => 'Another date' - ) - ); - - $this->db->insert_batch('mytable', $data); - // Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('My title', 'My name', 'My date'), ('Another title', 'Another name', 'Another date') - -The first parameter will contain the table name, the second is an -associative array of values. - -.. note:: All values are escaped automatically producing safer queries. - -************* -Updating Data -************* - -**$this->db->replace()** - -This method executes a REPLACE statement, which is basically the SQL -standard for (optional) DELETE + INSERT, using *PRIMARY* and *UNIQUE* -keys as the determining factor. -In our case, it will save you from the need to implement complex -logics with different combinations of ``select()``, ``update()``, -``delete()`` and ``insert()`` calls. - -Example:: - - $data = array( - 'title' => 'My title', - 'name' => 'My Name', - 'date' => 'My date' - ); - - $this->db->replace('table', $data); - - // Executes: REPLACE INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('My title', 'My name', 'My date') - -In the above example, if we assume that the *title* field is our primary -key, then if a row containing 'My title' as the *title* value, that row -will be deleted with our new row data replacing it. - -Usage of the ``set()`` method is also allowed and all fields are -automatically escaped, just like with ``insert()``. - -**$this->db->set()** - -This function enables you to set values for inserts or updates. - -**It can be used instead of passing a data array directly to the insert -or update functions:** - -:: - - $this->db->set('name', $name); - $this->db->insert('mytable'); // Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (`name`) VALUES ('{$name}') - -If you use multiple function called they will be assembled properly -based on whether you are doing an insert or an update:: - - $this->db->set('name', $name); - $this->db->set('title', $title); - $this->db->set('status', $status); - $this->db->insert('mytable'); - -**set()** will also accept an optional third parameter (``$escape``), that -will prevent data from being escaped if set to FALSE. To illustrate the -difference, here is ``set()`` used both with and without the escape -parameter. - -:: - - $this->db->set('field', 'field+1', FALSE); - $this->db->where('id', 2); - $this->db->update('mytable'); // gives UPDATE mytable SET field = field+1 WHERE id = 2 - - $this->db->set('field', 'field+1'); - $this->db->where('id', 2); - $this->db->update('mytable'); // gives UPDATE `mytable` SET `field` = 'field+1' WHERE `id` = 2 - -You can also pass an associative array to this function:: - - $array = array( - 'name' => $name, - 'title' => $title, - 'status' => $status - ); - - $this->db->set($array); - $this->db->insert('mytable'); - -Or an object:: - - /* - class Myclass { - public $title = 'My Title'; - public $content = 'My Content'; - public $date = 'My Date'; - } - */ - - $object = new Myclass; - $this->db->set($object); - $this->db->insert('mytable'); - -**$this->db->update()** - -Generates an update string and runs the query based on the data you -supply.

You can optionally pass this information -directly into the update function as a string:: - - $this->db->update('mytable', $data, "id = 4"); - -Or as an array:: - - $this->db->update('mytable', $data, array('id' => $id)); - -You may also use the $this->db->set() function described above when -performing updates. - -**$this->db->update_batch()** - -Generates an update string based on the data you supply, and runs the query. -You can either pass an **array** or an **object** to the function. -Here is an example using an array:: - - $data = array( - array( - 'title' => 'My title' , - 'name' => 'My Name 2' , - 'date' => 'My date 2' - ), - array( - 'title' => 'Another title' , - 'name' => 'Another Name 2' , - 'date' => 'Another date 2' - ) - ); - - $this->db->update_batch('mytable', $data, 'title'); - - // Produces: - // UPDATE `mytable` SET `name` = CASE - // WHEN `title` = 'My title' THEN 'My Name 2' - // WHEN `title` = 'Another title' THEN 'Another Name 2' - // ELSE `name` END, - // `date` = CASE - // WHEN `title` = 'My title' THEN 'My date 2' - // WHEN `title` = 'Another title' THEN 'Another date 2' - // ELSE `date` END - // WHERE `title` IN ('My title','Another title') - -The first parameter will contain the table name, the second is an associative -array of values, the third parameter is the where key. - -.. note:: All values are escaped automatically producing safer queries. - -.. note:: ``affected_rows()`` won't give you proper results with this method, - due to the very nature of how it works.

Normally, when an Query Builder call is completed, -all stored information is reset for the next call. With caching, you can -prevent this reset, and reuse information easily. - -Cached calls are cumulative. If you make 2 cached select() calls, and -then 2 uncached select() calls, this will result in 4 select() calls. -There are three Caching functions available: - -**$this->db->start_cache()** - -This function must be called to begin caching. All Query Builder queries -of the correct type (see below for supported queries) are stored for -later use. - -**$this->db->stop_cache()** - -This function can be called to stop caching. - -**$this->db->flush_cache()** - -This function deletes all items from the Query Builder cache. - -An example of caching ---------------------- - -Here's a usage example:: - - $this->db->start_cache(); - $this->db->select('field1'); - $this->db->stop_cache(); - $this->db->get('tablename'); - //Generates: SELECT `field1` FROM (`tablename`) - - $this->db->select('field2'); - $this->db->get('tablename'); - //Generates: SELECT `field1`, `field2` FROM (`tablename`) - - $this->db->flush_cache(); - $this->db->select('field2'); - $this->db->get('tablename'); - //Generates: SELECT `field2` FROM (`tablename`) - - -.. note:: The following statements can be cached: select, from, join, - where, like, group_by, having, order_by - - -*********************** -Resetting Query Builder -*********************** - -**$this->db->reset_query()** - -Resetting Query Builder allows you to start fresh with your query without -executing it first using a method like $this->db->get() or $this->db->insert(). -Just like the methods that execute a query, this will *not* reset items you've -cached using `Query Builder Caching`_. - -This is useful in situations where you are using Query Builder to generate SQL -(ex. ``$this->db->get_compiled_select()``) but then choose to, for instance, -run the query:: - - // Note that the second parameter of the get_compiled_select method is FALSE - $sql = $this->db->select(array('field1','field2')) - ->where('field3',5) - ->get_compiled_select('mytable', FALSE); - - // ... - // Do something crazy with the SQL code... like add it to a cron script for - // later execution or something... - // ... - - $data = $this->db->get()->result_array(); - - // Would execute and return an array of results of the following query: - // SELECT field1, field1 from mytable where field3 = 5; - -.. note:: Double calls to ``get_compiled_select()`` while you're using the - Query Builder Caching functionality and NOT resetting your queries - will results in the cache being merged twice.

-CodeIgniter's database abstraction allows you to use transactions with -databases that support transaction-safe table types. In MySQL, you'll -need to be running InnoDB or BDB table types rather than the more common -MyISAM. Most other database platforms support transactions natively. - -If you are not familiar with transactions we recommend you find a good -online resource to learn about them for your particular database. The -information below assumes you have a basic understanding of -transactions. - -CodeIgniter's Approach to Transactions -====================================== - -CodeIgniter utilizes an approach to transactions that is very similar to -the process used by the popular database class ADODB. We've chosen that -approach because it greatly simplifies the process of running -transactions. In most cases all that is required are two lines of code. - -Traditionally, transactions have required a fair amount of work to -implement since they demand that you keep track of your queries and -determine whether to commit or rollback based on the success or failure -of your queries. This is particularly cumbersome with nested queries. In -contrast, we've implemented a smart transaction system that does all -this for you automatically (you can also manage your transactions -manually if you choose to, but there's really no benefit). - -Running Transactions -==================== - -To run your queries using transactions you will use the -$this->db->trans_start() and $this->db->trans_complete() functions as -follows:: - - $this->db->trans_start(); - $this->db->query('AN SQL QUERY...'); - $this->db->query('ANOTHER QUERY...'); - $this->db->query('AND YET ANOTHER QUERY...'); - $this->db->trans_complete(); - -You can run as many queries as you want between the start/complete -functions and they will all be committed or rolled back based on success -or failure of any given query. - -Strict Mode -=========== - -By default CodeIgniter runs all transactions in 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 independently, meaning a failure of one -group will not affect any others. - -Strict Mode can be disabled as follows:: - - $this->db->trans_strict(FALSE); - -Managing Errors -=============== - -If you have error reporting enabled in your config/database.php file -you'll see a standard error message if the commit was unsuccessful. If -debugging is turned off, you can manage your own errors like this:: - - $this->db->trans_start(); - $this->db->query('AN SQL QUERY...'); - $this->db->query('ANOTHER QUERY...'); - $this->db->trans_complete(); - - if ($this->db->trans_status() === FALSE) - { - // generate an error... or use the log_message() function to log your error - } - -Disabling Transactions -====================== - -If you would like to disable transactions you can do so using -``$this->db->trans_off()``:: - - $this->db->trans_off(); - - $this->db->trans_start(); - $this->db->query('AN SQL QUERY...'); - $this->db->trans_complete(); - -When transactions are disabled, your queries will be auto-committed, just as -they are when running queries without transactions, practically ignoring -any calls to ``trans_start()``, ``trans_complete()``, etc. - -Test Mode -========= - -You can optionally put the transaction system into "test mode", which -will cause your queries to be rolled back -- even if the queries produce -a valid result.
