+<p>CodeIgniter gives you access to a Query Builder class. This pattern
+allows information to be retrieved, inserted, and updated in your
+database with minimal scripting. In some cases only one or two lines
+of code are necessary to perform a database action.
+CodeIgniter does not require that each database table be its own class
+file. It instead provides a more simplified interface.</p>
+<p>Beyond simplicity, a major benefit to using the Query Builder features
+is that it allows you to create database independent applications, since
+the query syntax is generated by each database adapter. It also allows
+for safer queries, since the values are escaped automatically by the
+system.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">If you intend to write your own queries you can disable this
+class in your database config file, allowing the core database library
+and adapter to utilize fewer resources.</p>

+<p>The following functions allow you to build SQL <strong>SELECT</strong> statements.</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;get()</strong></p>
+<p>Runs the selection query and returns the result. Can be used by itself
+to retrieve all records from a table:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>  <span class="c1">// Produces: SELECT * FROM mytable</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The second and third parameters enable you to set a limit and offset
+clause:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">10</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">20</span><span class="p">);</span>
+
+<span class="c1">// Executes: SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 20, 10</span>
+<span class="c1">// (in MySQL. Other databases have slightly different syntax)</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>You’ll notice that the above function is assigned to a variable named
+$query, which can be used to show the results:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

+<p>Please visit the <a class="reference internal" href="results.html"><span class="doc">result functions</span></a> page for a full
+discussion regarding result generation.</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;get_compiled_select()</strong></p>
+<p>Compiles the selection query just like <strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;get()</strong> but does not <em>run</em>
+the query. This method simply returns the SQL query as a string.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$sql</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get_compiled_select</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$sql</span><span class="p">;</span>
+
+<span class="c1">// Prints string: SELECT * FROM mytable</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The second parameter enables you to set whether or not the query builder query
+will be reset (by default it will be reset, just like when using <cite>$this-&gt;db-&gt;get()</cite>):</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">limit</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">10</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mi">20</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get_compiled_select</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">);</span>
+
+<span class="c1">// Prints string: SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 20, 10</span>
+<span class="c1">// (in MySQL. Other databases have slightly different syntax)</span>
+
+<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">select</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;title, content, date&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get_compiled_select</span><span class="p">();</span>
+
+<span class="c1">// Prints string: SELECT title, content, date FROM mytable LIMIT 20, 10</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The key thing to notice in the above example is that the second query did not
+utilize <strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;from()</strong> and did not pass a table name into the first
+parameter. The reason for this outcome is because the query has not been
+executed using <strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;get()</strong> which resets values or reset directly
+using <strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;reset_query()</strong>.</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;get_where()</strong></p>
+<p>Identical to the above function except that it permits you to add a
+“where” clause in the second parameter, instead of using the db-&gt;where()
+function:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get_where</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;id&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="nv">$id</span><span class="p">),</span> <span class="nv">$limit</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$offset</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Please read the about the where function below for more information.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">

+<p class="last">get_where() was formerly known as getwhere(), which has been removed</p>

+<p>The key thing to notice in the above example is that the second query did not
+utilize <cite>$this-&gt;db-&gt;from()</cite> nor did it pass a table name into the first

+using <cite>$this-&gt;db-&gt;insert()</cite> which resets values or reset directly using

+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;replace()</strong></p>
+<p>This method executes a REPLACE statement, which is basically the SQL
+standard for (optional) DELETE + INSERT, using <em>PRIMARY</em> and <em>UNIQUE</em>
+keys as the determining factor.
+In our case, it will save you from the need to implement complex
+logics with different combinations of  <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">select()</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">update()</span></code>,
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">delete()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">insert()</span></code> calls.</p>
+<p>Example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$data</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span>
+        <span class="s1">&#39;title&#39;</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;My title&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>

+        <span class="s1">&#39;date&#39;</span>  <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;My date&#39;</span>
+<span class="p">);</span>

+
+<span class="c1">// Executes: REPLACE INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES (&#39;My title&#39;, &#39;My name&#39;, &#39;My date&#39;)</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>In the above example, if we assume that the <em>title</em> field is our primary
+key, then if a row containing ‘My title’ as the <em>title</em> value, that row
+will be deleted with our new row data replacing it.</p>
+<p>Usage of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">set()</span></code> method is also allowed and all fields are
+automatically escaped, just like with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">insert()</span></code>.</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;set()</strong></p>
+<p>This function enables you to set values for inserts or updates.</p>
+<p><strong>It can be used instead of passing a data array directly to the insert
+or update functions:</strong></p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">set</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$name</span><span class="p">);</span>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you use multiple function called they will be assembled properly
+based on whether you are doing an insert or an update:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">set</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$name</span><span class="p">);</span>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p><strong>set()</strong> will also accept an optional third parameter (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$escape</span></code>), that
+will prevent data from being escaped if set to FALSE. To illustrate the
+difference, here is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">set()</span></code> used both with and without the escape

+<p>While not “true” caching, Query Builder enables you to save (or “cache”)
+certain parts of your queries for reuse at a later point in your
+script’s execution. 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.</p>
+<p>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:</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;start_cache()</strong></p>
+<p>This function must be called to begin caching. All Query Builder queries
+of the correct type (see below for supported queries) are stored for
+later use.</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;stop_cache()</strong></p>
+<p>This function can be called to stop caching.</p>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;flush_cache()</strong></p>
