+<h2>Enabling Caching<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-caching" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Caching is enabled in three steps:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Create a writable directory on your server where the cache files can
+be stored.</li>
+<li>Set the path to your cache folder in your
+application/config/database.php file.</li>
+<li>Enable the caching feature, either globally by setting the preference
+in your application/config/database.php file, or manually as
+described below.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Once enabled, caching will happen automatically whenever a page is
+loaded that contains database queries.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="how-does-caching-work">
+<h2>How Does Caching Work?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-does-caching-work" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="will-caching-improve-your-site-s-performance">
+<h2>Will Caching Improve Your Site’s Performance?<a class="headerlink" href="#will-caching-improve-your-site-s-performance" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="how-are-cache-files-stored">
+<h2>How are Cache Files Stored?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-are-cache-files-stored" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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).</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="managing-your-cache-files">
+<h2>Managing your Cache Files<a class="headerlink" href="#managing-your-cache-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="not-all-database-functions-work-with-caching">
+<h2>Not All Database Functions Work with Caching<a class="headerlink" href="#not-all-database-functions-work-with-caching" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>The following functions ARE NOT available when using a cached result
+object:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>num_fields()</li>
+<li>field_names()</li>
+<li>field_data()</li>
+<li>free_result()</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Also, the two database resources (result_id and conn_id) are not
+available when caching, since result resources only pertain to run-time
+operations.</p>

+<p>The caching system saves your cache files to folders that correspond to

+<h2>$this-&gt;db-&gt;call_function();<a class="headerlink" href="#this-db-call-function" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>This function enables you to call PHP database functions that are not
+natively included in CodeIgniter, in a platform independent manner. For
+example, let’s say you want to call the mysql_get_client_info()
+function, which is <strong>not</strong> natively supported by CodeIgniter. You could
+do so like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">call_function</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;get_client_info&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>You must supply the name of the function, <strong>without</strong> the mysql_
+prefix, in the first parameter. The prefix is added automatically based
+on which database driver is currently being used. This permits you to
+run the same function on different database platforms. Obviously not all
+function calls are identical between platforms, so there are limits to
+how useful this function can be in terms of portability.</p>
+<p>Any parameters needed by the function you are calling will be added to
+the second parameter.</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">call_function</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;some_function&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$param1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$param2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">etc</span><span class="o">..</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Often, you will either need to supply a database connection ID or a
+database result ID. The connection ID can be accessed using:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">conn_id</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The result ID can be accessed from within your result object, like this:</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">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;SOME QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+
+<span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">result_id</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>

+<p>You can specify as many failovers as you like.</p>
+<p>The reason we use a multi-dimensional array rather than a more simple
+one is to permit you to optionally store multiple sets of connection
+values. If, for example, you run multiple environments (development,
+production, test, etc.) under a single installation, you can set up a
+connection group for each, then switch between groups as needed. For
+example, to set up a “test” environment you would do this:</p>

+<p>If only some of your pages require database connectivity you can
+manually connect to your database by adding this line of code in any
+function where it is needed, or in your class constructor to make the
+database available globally in that class.</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">database</span><span class="p">();</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If the above function does <strong>not</strong> contain any information in the first
+parameter it will connect to the group specified in your database config
+file. For most people, this is the preferred method of use.</p>

+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li>The database connection values, passed either as an array or a DSN
+string.</li>
+<li>TRUE/FALSE (boolean). Whether to return the connection ID (see

+<p>The first parameter of this function can <strong>optionally</strong> be used to
+specify a particular database group from your config file, or you can
+even submit connection values for a database that is not specified in
+your config file. Examples:</p>
+<p>To choose a specific group from your config file you can do this:</p>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where group_name is the name of the connection group from your config
+file.</p>
+<p>To connect manually to a desired database you can pass an array of
+values:</p>

+</table>
+<p>Takes a column or table name (optionally with an alias)
+and applies the configured <em>dbprefix</em> to it.</p>
+<p>Some logic is necessary in order to deal with
+column names that include the path.</p>
+<p>Consider a query like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">SELECT</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">hostname</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">database</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">table</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">column</span> <span class="k">AS</span> <span class="nx">c</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">hostname</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">database</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">table</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Or a query with aliasing:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">SELECT</span> <span class="nx">m</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">member_id</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">m</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">member_name</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">members</span> <span class="k">AS</span> <span class="nx">m</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>This method is used extensively by the Query Builder class.</p>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The query() function returns a database result <strong>object</strong> when “read”
+type queries are run, which you can use to <a class="reference internal" href="results.html"><span class="doc">show your
+results</span></a>. When “write” type queries are run it simply
+returns TRUE or FALSE depending on success or failure. When retrieving
+data you will typically assign the query to your own variable, like

+NOT return a database result set, nor does it set the query timer, or
+compile bind data, or store your query for debugging. It simply lets you
+submit a query. Most users will rarely use this function.</p>
+<p>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

+<h2>Escaping Queries<a class="headerlink" href="#escaping-queries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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:</p>
+<ol class="arabic">
+<li><p class="first"><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;escape()</strong> This function determines the data type so
+that it can escape only string data. It also automatically adds
+single quotes around the data so you don’t have to:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$sql</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES(&quot;</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">escape</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$title</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="s2">&quot;)&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li><p class="first"><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;escape_str()</strong> This function escapes the data passed to
+it, regardless of type. Most of the time you’ll use the above
+function rather than this one. Use the function like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$sql</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES(&#39;&quot;</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">escape_str</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$title</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="s2">&quot;&#39;)&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li><p class="first"><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;escape_like_str()</strong> This method should be used when
+strings are to be used in LIKE conditions so that LIKE wildcards
+(‘%’, ‘_’) in the string are also properly escaped.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$search</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;20% raise&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

+<div class="admonition important">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>
+<p class="last">The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">escape_like_str()</span></code> method uses ‘!’ (exclamation mark)
+to escape special characters for <em>LIKE</em> conditions. Because this
+method escapes partial strings that you would wrap in quotes
+yourself, it cannot automatically add the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ESCAPE</span> <span class="pre">'!'</span></code>
+condition for you, and so you’ll have to manually do that.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="query-bindings">
+<h2>Query Bindings<a class="headerlink" href="#query-bindings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Bindings enable you to simplify your query syntax by letting the system
+put the queries together for you. Consider the following example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$sql</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = ? AND status = ? AND author = ?&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$sql</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;live&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Rick&#39;</span><span class="p">));</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The question marks in the query are automatically replaced with the
+values in the array in the second parameter of the query function.</p>
+<p>Binding also work with arrays, which will be transformed to IN sets:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$sql</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id IN ? AND status = ? AND author = ?&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$sql</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">6</span><span class="p">),</span> <span class="s1">&#39;live&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Rick&#39;</span><span class="p">));</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>The resulting query will be:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">SELECT</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">some_table</span> <span class="nx">WHERE</span> <span class="nx">id</span> <span class="nx">IN</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mi">6</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">AND</span> <span class="nx">status</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;live&#39;</span> <span class="k">AND</span> <span class="nx">author</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Rick&#39;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>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.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="handling-errors">
+<h2>Handling Errors<a class="headerlink" href="#handling-errors" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p><strong>$this-&gt;db-&gt;error();</strong></p>

+<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>

+</div>
+<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>

+<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;name&#39;</span>  <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;My Name&#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="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">replace</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;table&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$data</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">$name</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">insert</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;mytable&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>  <span class="c1">// Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (`name`) VALUES (&#39;{$name}&#39;)</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you use multiple function called they will be assembled properly
+based on whether you are doing an insert or an update:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$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>

+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">set</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;status&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$status</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>

+<p><strong>row()</strong></p>
+<p>This method returns a single result row. If your query has more than

+<p>In addition, you can walk forward/backwards/first/last through your

+<p>By default they return an object unless you put the word “array” in the

+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Not all database drivers have a native way of getting the total
+number of rows for a result set. When this is the case, all of

+</div>
+<p><strong>num_fields()</strong></p>
+<p>The number of FIELDS (columns) returned by the query. Make sure to call

+<p><strong>free_result()</strong></p>
+<p>It frees the memory associated with the result and deletes the result

+script execution. However, if you are running a lot of queries in a
+particular script you might want to free the result after each query
+result has been generated in order to cut down on memory consumption.</p>

+<h1>Transactions<a class="headerlink" href="#transactions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+<div class="section" id="codeigniter-s-approach-to-transactions">
+<h2>CodeIgniter’s Approach to Transactions<a class="headerlink" href="#codeigniter-s-approach-to-transactions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>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).</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="running-transactions">
+<h2>Running Transactions<a class="headerlink" href="#running-transactions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To run your queries using transactions you will use the
+$this-&gt;db-&gt;trans_start() and $this-&gt;db-&gt;trans_complete() functions as
+follows:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">trans_start</span><span class="p">();</span>

+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;ANOTHER QUERY...&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
+<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;AND YET ANOTHER QUERY...&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>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.</p>

+group will not affect any others.</p>
