The database - class has a small hack that allows it to return the correct number of - affected rows. By default this hack is enabled but it can be turned off - in the database driver file. - -**$this->db->last_query()** - -Returns the last query that was run (the query string, not the result). -Example:: - - $str = $this->db->last_query(); - - // Produces: SELECT * FROM sometable.... - - -.. note:: Disabling the **save_queries** setting in your database - configuration will render this function useless. - -Information About Your Database -=============================== - -**$this->db->count_all()** - -Permits you to determine the number of rows in a particular table. -Submit the table name in the first parameter. Example:: - - echo $this->db->count_all('my_table'); - - // Produces an integer, like 25 - -**$this->db->platform()** - -Outputs the database platform you are running (MySQL, MS SQL, Postgres, -etc...):: - - echo $this->db->platform(); - -**$this->db->version()** - -Outputs the database version you are running:: - - echo $this->db->version(); - -Making Your Queries Easier -========================== - -**$this->db->insert_string()** - -This function simplifies the process of writing database inserts. It -returns a correctly formatted SQL insert string. Example:: - - $data = array('name' => $name, 'email' => $email, 'url' => $url); - - $str = $this->db->insert_string('table_name', $data); - -The first parameter is the table name, the second is an associative -array with the data to be inserted. The above example produces:: - - INSERT INTO table_name (name, email, url) VALUES ('Rick', 'rick@example.com', 'example.com') - -.. note:: Values are automatically escaped, producing safer queries. - -**$this->db->update_string()** - -This function simplifies the process of writing database updates. It -returns a correctly formatted SQL update string. Example:: - - $data = array('name' => $name, 'email' => $email, 'url' => $url); - - $where = "author_id = 1 AND status = 'active'"; - - $str = $this->db->update_string('table_name', $data, $where); - -The first parameter is the table name, the second is an associative -array with the data to be updated, and the third parameter is the -"where" clause. The above example produces:: - - UPDATE table_name SET name = 'Rick', email = 'rick@example.com', url = 'example.com' WHERE author_id = 1 AND status = 'active' - -.. note:: Values are automatically escaped, producing safer queries. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
