Queries
Query Basics
Note
CodeIgniter doesn’t support dots (.
) in the database, table, and column names.
Regular Queries
$db->query()
To submit a query, use the query()
method:
<?php
$db = db_connect();
$db->query('YOUR QUERY HERE');
The query()
method returns a database result object when “read”
type queries are run which you can use to show your
results. 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
this:
<?php
$query = $db->query('YOUR QUERY HERE');
Note
If you are using OCI8 Driver, SQL statements should not end with a semi-colon (;
).
PL/SQL statements should end with a semi-colon (;
).
Simplified Queries
$db->simpleQuery()
The simpleQuery()
method is a simplified version of the
$db->query()
method. It DOES
NOT return a database result set, nor does it set the query timer, or
compile bind data, or store your query for debugging. It simply lets you
submit a query. Most users will rarely use this function.
It returns whatever the database drivers “execute” function returns. That typically is true/false on success or failure for write type queries such as INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE statements (which is what it really should be used for) and a resource/object on success for queries with fetchable results.
<?php
if ($db->simpleQuery('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 keep that in mind if you’re looking for a boolean value.
Working with Database Prefixes Manually
$db->prefixTable()
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:
<?php
$db->prefixTable('tablename'); // outputs prefix_tablename
$db->setPrefix()
If for any reason you would like to change the prefix programmatically without needing to create a new connection you can use this method:
<?php
$db->setPrefix('newprefix_');
$db->prefixTable('tablename'); // outputs newprefix_tablename
$db->getPrefix()
You can get the current prefix any time with this method:
<?php
$DBPrefix = $db->getPrefix();
Protecting Identifiers
$db->protectIdentifiers()
In many databases, it is advisable to protect table and field names - for example with backticks in MySQL. Query Builder queries are automatically protected, but if you need to manually protect an identifier you can use:
<?php
$db->protectIdentifiers('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:
<?php
$db->protectIdentifiers('table_name', true);
Escaping Values
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:
1. $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:
<?php
$sql = 'INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES(' . $db->escape($title) . ')';
2. $db->escapeString()
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:
<?php
$sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES('" . $db->escapeString($title) . "')";
3. $db->escapeLikeString()
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.
<?php
$search = '20% raise';
$sql = "SELECT id FROM table WHERE column LIKE '%" . $db->escapeLikeString($search) . "%' ESCAPE '!'";
Important
The escapeLikeString()
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:
<?php
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = ? AND status = ? AND author = ?';
$db->query($sql, [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:
<?php
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id IN ? AND status = ? AND author = ?';
$db->query($sql, [[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.
Named Bindings
Instead of using the question mark to mark the location of the bound values, you can name the bindings, allowing the keys of the values passed in to match placeholders in the query:
<?php
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = :id: AND status = :status: AND author = :name:';
$db->query($sql, [
'id' => 3,
'status' => 'live',
'name' => 'Rick',
]);
Note
Each name in the query MUST be surrounded by colons.
Handling Errors
$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:
<?php
if (! $db->simpleQuery('SELECT `example_field` FROM `example_table`')) {
$error = $db->error(); // Has keys 'code' and 'message'
}
Prepared Queries
Most database engines support some form of prepared statements, that allow you to prepare a query once, and then run that query multiple times with new sets of data. This eliminates the possibility of SQL injection since the data is passed to the database in a different format than the query itself. When you need to run the same query multiple times it can be quite a bit faster, too. However, to use it for every query can have major performance hits, since you’re calling out to the database twice as often. Since the Query Builder and Database connections already handle escaping the data for you, the safety aspect is already taken care of for you. There will be times, though, when you need the ability to optimize the query by running a prepared statement, or prepared query.
Preparing the Query
This can be easily done with the prepare()
method. This takes a single parameter, which is a Closure that returns
a query object. Query objects are automatically generated by any of the “final” type queries, including insert,
update, delete, replace, and get. This is handled the easiest by using the Query Builder to
run a query. The query is not actually run, and the values don’t matter since they’re never applied, acting instead
as placeholders. This returns a PreparedQuery object:
<?php
$pQuery = $db->prepare(static function ($db) {
return $db->table('user')->insert([
'name' => 'x',
'email' => 'y',
'country' => 'US',
]);
});
If you don’t want to use the Query Builder you can create the Query object manually using question marks for value placeholders:
<?php
use CodeIgniter\Database\Query;
$pQuery = $db->prepare(static function ($db) {
$sql = 'INSERT INTO user (name, email, country) VALUES (?, ?, ?)';
return (new Query($db))->setQuery($sql);
});
If the database requires an array of options passed to it during the prepare statement phase you can pass that array through in the second parameter:
<?php
use CodeIgniter\Database\Query;
$pQuery = $db->prepare(static function ($db) {
$sql = 'INSERT INTO user (name, email, country) VALUES (?, ?, ?)';
return (new Query($db))->setQuery($sql);
}, $options);
Executing the Query
Once you have a prepared query you can use the execute()
method to actually run the query. You can pass in as
many variables as you need in the query parameters. The number of parameters you pass must match the number of
placeholders in the query. They must also be passed in the same order as the placeholders appear in the original
query:
<?php
// Prepare the Query
$pQuery = $db->prepare(static function ($db) {
return $db->table('user')->insert([
'name' => 'x',
'email' => 'y',
'country' => 'US',
]);
});
// Collect the Data
$name = 'John Doe';
$email =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>$country = 'US';
// Run the Query
$results = $pQuery->execute($name, $email, $country);
For queries of type “write” it returns true or false, indicating the success or failure of the query. For queries of type “read” it returns a standard result set.
Other Methods
In addition to these two primary methods, the prepared query object also has the following methods:
close()
While PHP does a pretty good job of closing all open statements with the database it’s always a good idea to close out the prepared statement when you’re done with it:
<?php
if ($pQuery->close()) {
echo 'Success!';
} else {
echo 'Deallocation of prepared statements failed!';
}
Note
Since v4.3.0, the close()
method deallocates the prepared statement in all DBMS. Previously, they were not deallocated in Postgre, SQLSRV and OCI8.
getQueryString()
This returns the prepared query as a string.
hasError()
Returns boolean true/false if the last execute()
call created any errors.
getErrorCode()
getErrorMessage()
If any errors were encountered these methods can be used to retrieve the error code and string.
Working with Query Objects
Internally, all queries are processed and stored as instances of
CodeIgniter\Database\Query
. This class is responsible for binding
the parameters, otherwise preparing the query, and storing performance
data about its query.
$db->getLastQuery()
When you just need to retrieve the last Query object, use the
getLastQuery()
method:
<?php
$query = $db->getLastQuery();
echo (string) $query;
The Query Class
Each query object stores several pieces of information about the query itself. This is used, in part, by the Timeline feature, but is available for your use as well.
getQuery()
Returns the final query after all processing has happened. This is the exact query that was sent to the database:
<?php
$sql = $query->getQuery();
This same value can be retrieved by casting the Query object to a string:
<?php
$sql = (string) $query;
getOriginalQuery()
Returns the raw SQL that was passed into the object. This will not have any binds in it, or prefixes swapped out, etc:
<?php
$sql = $query->getOriginalQuery();
hasError()
If an error was encountered during the execution of this query this method will return true:
<?php
if ($query->hasError()) {
echo 'Code: ' . $query->getErrorCode();
echo 'Error: ' . $query->getErrorMessage();
}
isWriteType()
Returns true if the query was determined to be a write-type query (i.e., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc):
<?php
if ($query->isWriteType()) {
// ... do something
}
swapPrefix()
Replaces one table prefix with another value in the SQL. The first parameter is the original prefix that you want replaced, and the second parameter is the value you want it replaced with:
<?php
$sql = $query->swapPrefix('ci3_', 'ci4_');
getStartTime()
Gets the time the query was executed in seconds with microseconds:
<?php
$microtime = $query->getStartTime();
getDuration()
Returns a float with the duration of the query in seconds with microseconds:
<?php
$microtime = $query->getDuration();

Fire hose reels at Bukit Batok block were certified to be in working condition, says town council after warning from SCDF
SINGAPORE: Fire hose reels at Block 210A Bukit Batok Street 21 was certified to be in working condition, said Jurong-Clementi Town Council after firefighters were unable to use them when fire broke out in a flat on Nov 1.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) issued a warning to the town council following the incident.
"There are 64 fire hose reels at Block 210A Bukit Batok. They last underwent maintenance and testing by the appointed contractor on Oct 14, 2019, and were certified to be in working condition," the town council's general manager Ho Thian Poh said on Wednesday (Nov 13), in response to queries sent by CNA on Saturday.
"However, we accept the SCDF’s finding that the hose in question was not working on the day of the fire. We have been investigating why this was so, and will take appropriate actions once concluded."
The town council however, did not respond to a point made by SCDF in their investigations that several fire hose reel cabinets were found padlocked at Block 210A when firefighters tried to access them.
"During the firefighting operation, SCDF found that a few fire hose reel cabinets were padlocked," said SCDF.
"After breaking one of the padlocks, the firefighters still could not use the fire hose reel as there was no water supply. SCDF officers proceeded to extinguish the fire using water from their emergency vehicles."
Three people were rescued from the fire, which broke out on the 13th floor flat at about 4.30am on Nov 1.
A woman in her 60s was rescued from a toilet, while a man in his 60s and another man in his 30s were found standing on the ledge outside the kitchen window.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

PLEASE interrupt if you have questions!
Today we're going to talk about
Map Warper
mapwarper.net
and the process of putting images of maps into a digital geographic context:
Georeferencing
Why might you want to do this?
You may not have access to the data used to make the map, but want to see the map in the context of other geographic data.
- Historic maps - what used to be here?
- Photos of non-current political district maps...snap a photo of that old map you see in a public building
- Maps from community development corporations, from old hand drawn annual reports and the like
- Zoning maps from small municipalities that don’t have a GIS department
- Community plan drafts handed out at public meetings (likely created in CAD/GIS, but without easy access to the consultant, etc.)
First, Let's find some images of maps!
Full-Image and Description
See An Example
Full-Image provides a little image-viewer. Zoom and pan around.
Description provides important metadata: Title, Date, Creator, etc. Also, read the Rights and download a copy.
Important!
Pitt's maps themselves (which we will use for our examples tonight), and many historic maps are in the public domain.
However, always be cognizant of copyright and license when using the work of others.
NYPL includes some maps outside NYC. Search for “pennsylvania map” and check the “search only public domain” to see some great stuff! (and you can filter down by “place” once you are in the main search area.)
Also see buildinginspector.nypl.org and spacetime.nypl.org for some interesting historic mapping projects from the NYPL.
Great collection, and Sanborn maps are relatively easy to georeference due to the map projection (a little more on that later).
All the maps maps on these sites are stored as image files.
The files themselves contain no machine-readable geographic information.
If we want to view these maps in a geographic context, with other geographic data...
we need to georeference them
What does it mean to georeference an image?
First, let's talk about the basics of images on computers and maps.
A raster stores data in pixels
On maps, pixels are powerful.
In Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software, the pixels of a raster can represent color, height, slope, direction...and many other classifications or gradients.
Geographically-referenced raster data is commonly encountered in:
- satellite imagery
- weather data
- digital elevation model
Such rasters contain geographic reference information that describes where the pixels exist on the globe.
This info typically includes the coordinate system and some information about the raster's dimensions, in a standard format.
The historic images do not (yet) have this information.
Raster as a text file (ascii
) with geo info:
Download a map from the University of Pittsburgh's Historic Pittsburgh Maps Collection that you'd like to georeference
Some maps will be easier to georeference than others.
Find one with a lot of detail. For your first map, try to avoid broad-scale or conceptual maps.
How do I georeference an image using Map Warper?
- Sign-Up
- Upload map and enter metadata (really, really important!)
- Georeference (Rectify, Crop, Align)
- View!
- Export to a file or reference as a web service
- (make fixes)
Upload
Make sure to copy metadata from your source!!!
Be thorough! Give credit!
(you can add more later if you need to)
Rectify using Control Points
Image Space,
Coordinate Space
our map image at left,
our web map at right
Identify Control Points
A little bit of art
to the science...
Find clearly-defined points of reference,
like buildings or intersections.
Avoid using "soft" references,
like shorelines.
Rectify
Save the image to coordinate space
Technically...
source
Stretch that map!
source
Crop and Align
Crop lets you cut off portions of the image. Useful if you scan has extra white space. But please avoid cropping any info that might help identify the map.
Align lets you specify other maps you've uploaded to Map Warper
Preview Map
Now that I've georefernced this map...what do I do with it?
EXPORT
- Download a georeferenced image file for use in geographic information systems (GIS) software
- Get the
KML
version and view/share it with Google Maps
- Build a web map and reference the map service hosted for you by MapWarper

Aston Villa urged to complete signing as fresh Leeds United exit claim emerges
Aston Villa transfer news includes the latest on AVFC from BirminghamLive
by Shane Ireland, https://www.facebook.com/ShaneIrelandJournalistMorelos' agent speaks out
Alfredo Morelos’ agent has told interested clubs to go and get the Rangers striker before his value skyrockets.
Aston Villa have been heavily linked with the Colombia international who has already rattled in 22 goals this season.
Villa are finalising their plans for the January transfer window and Morelos has done little to quell speculation about a potential move to the Premier League when asked about his future in interviews.
He is said to be valued at around £20m at Ibrox and the 23-year-old’s agent, Theofilos Karasavvidis, thinks a fee like that would represent a bargain.

You can follow our Villa reporter Ashley Preece on Twitter, and his email address is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>VAR meeting
Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow says ‘grave concerns’ about video assistant referee (VAR) technology were raised at a Premier League meeting on Thursday.
Purslow was Villa’s representative at a conference held between top-flight clubs to discuss the use of VAR.
Referees' chief Mike Riley led the discussion over the technology, which has caused weekly controversy since its introduction in the league at the start of the season.
Purslow told Sky Sports: “I’ve got grave concerns, but so has everybody in the room. We had a very robust discussion."
Fans urge Villa to sign Giroud
Chelsea are reportedly putting striker Olivier Giroud up for sale at a cut-price fee.
And Aston Villa fans think their club should go straight in for the forward.
Giroud is out of the picture under new Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, starting just one match in the Premier League this season with former Villa loanee Tammy Abraham leading the line.
Antonio Conte, who brought him to Stamford Bridge in January 2018, is set to try and sign him again according to Italian media.
And Chelsea are thought to be letting him go for just £6 million.
Nyland interview
Orjan Nyland says he will fight Tom Heaton to become Aston Villa's number one goalkeeper.
The Norwegian made his first appearance since December 29 at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, coming on for the injured Jed Steer after just seven minutes at Molineux.
Nyland had previously been limited to Under-23s outings this season until Tom Heaton picked up a calf injury before the Wolves game and was treated to an appearance on the substitute's bench for the West Midlands derby.
He was Villa 's number one last season having been signed from Ingoldstadt in summer 2018 but he suffered an Achilles injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season.

Frustration
Aberdeen's Scott McKenna has told of his transfer frustrations at being denied a move away from Pittodrie.
The Scotland defender was an Aston Villa target last year and sought to leave the Scottish Premiership side in the summer for the Championship with Nottingham Forest and Queens Park Rangers interested.
Celtic were also said to be interested in the 23-year-old , who submitted a transfer request as he tried to force through a move south of the border.
In the end it didn't materialise, with Derek McInnes keen to keep hold of the impressive centre-back.
Phillips clause
Kalvin Phillips has a release clause in his contract allowing him to leave if Leeds United don’t win promotion, according to Noel Whelan.
Phillips, 23, has been linked with a move to the Premier League after becoming a mainstay of Marcelo Bielsa’s side at Elland Road.
Aston Villa were firmly interested during the summer transfer window when Phillips was a leading target after the play-off triumph in May.
But they couldn’t agree a fee with Leeds, who rejected bids, and the midfielder stayed put for another shot at promotion with his boyhood club.

Obj_type is a number specifying the type of object to create.
| Obj_type | Object |
| 1 | Line |
| 2 | Rectangle |
| 3 | Oval |
| 4 | Arc |
| 5 | Embedded chart |
| 6 | Text box |
| 7 | Button |
| 8 | Picture (created with the camera tool) |
| 9 | Closed polygon |
| 10 | Open polygon |
| 11 | Check box |
| 12 | Option button |
| 13 | Edit box |
| 14 | Label |
| 15 | Dialog frame |
| 16 | Spinner |
| 17 | Scroll bar |
| 18 | List box |
| 19 | Group box |
| 20 | Drop down list box |
Ref1 is a reference to the cell from which the upper-left corner of the object is drawn, or from which the upper-left corner of the object's bounding rectangle is defined.
X_offset1 is the horizontal distance from the upper-left corner of ref1 to the upper-left corner of the object or to the upper-left corner of the object's bounding rectangle. X_offset1 is measured in points. A point is 1/72nd of an inch. If x_offset1 is omitted, it is assumed to be 0.
Y_offset1 is the vertical distance from the upper-left corner of ref1 to the upper-left corner of the object or to the upper-left corner of the object's bounding rectangle. Y_offset1 is measured in points. If y_offset1 is omitted, it is assumed to be 0.
Ref2 is a reference to the cell from which the lower-right corner of the object is drawn, or from which the lower-right corner of the object's bounding rectangle is defined.
X_offset2 is the horizontal distance from the upper-left corner of ref2 to the lower-right corner of the object or to the lower-right corner of the object's bounding rectangle. X_offset2 is measured in points. If x_offset2 is omitted, it is assumed to be 0.
Y_offset2 is the vertical distance from the upper-left corner of ref2 to the lower-right corner of the object or to the lower-right corner of the object's bounding rectangle. Y_offset2 is measured in points. If y_offset2 is omitted, it is assumed to be 0.
Text specifies the text that appears in a text box or button. If text is omitted for a button, the button is named "Button n", where n is a number. If obj_type is not 6 or 7, text is ignored.
 If fill is TRUE, the object is filled; if FALSE, the object is transparent; if omitted, the object is filled with an applicable pattern for the object being created.
Array is an n by 2 array of values, or a reference to a range of cells containing values, that indicate the position of each vertex in a polygon, relative to the upper-left corner of the polygon's bounding rectangle.
A vertex is a point that is defined by a pair of coordinates in one row of array.
If the polygon contains many vertices, one array may not be sufficient to define it. If the number of characters in the formula exceeds 1024, you must include one or more EXTEND.POLYGON functions. If you're recording a macro, Microsoft Excel automatically records EXTEND.POLYGON functions as needed. For more information, see EXTEND.POLYGON.
Xy_series is a number from 0 to 3 that specifies how data is arranged in a chart and corresponds to options in the Paste Special dialog box.
| Xy_series | Result |
| 0 | Displays a dialog box if the selection is ambiguous |
| 1 or omitted | First row/column is the first data series |
| 2 | First row/column contains the category (x) axis labels |
| 3 | First row/column contains the x-values; the created chart is an xy (scatter) chart |
Xy_series is ignored unless obj_type is 5 (chart).
If you want more control over how the data is arranged, use the plot_by, categories, and ser_titles arguments to the CHART.WIZARD function. For more information, see CHART.WIZARD.
Gallery_num is a number from 1 to 15 specifying the type of embedded chart you want to create.
| Gallery_num | Chart |
| 1 | Area |
| 2 | Bar |
| 3 | Column |
| 4 | Line |
| 5 | Pie |
| 6 | Radar |
| 7 | XY (scatter) |
| 8 | Combination |
| 9 | 3-D area |
| 10 | 3-D bar |
| 11 | 3-D column |
| 12 | 3-D line |
| 13 | 3-D pie |
| 14 | 3-D surface |
| 15 | Doughnut |
Type_num is a number identifying a formatting option for a chart. The formatting options are shown in the dialog box of the AutoFormat command that corresponds to the type of chart you're creating. The first formatting option in any gallery is 1.
Plot_visible is a logical value that corresponds to the Plot Visible Cells Only checkbox in the Chart tab of the Options dialog box. If FALSE or omitted, all values are plotted.
Editable is a logical value that determines whether the drop down list box is editable or not. If TRUE, the drop down list box is editable. If FALSE, the drop down list box is not editable. If obj_type is not 20, this argument is ignored.
Remarks
CREATE.OBJECT returns the object identifier of the object it created. Object identifiers include text describing the object, such as "Text" or "Oval", and a number indicating the order in which the object was created. For example, CREATE.OBJECT returns "Oval 3" after creating an oval that is the third object in the workbook.
If the offsets are not specified, the object is drawn from the upper-left corner of ref1 to the upper-left corner of ref2.
If the object is not a picture and either ref1 or ref2 is omitted, CREATE.OBJECT returns the #VALUE! error value and does not create the object.
CREATE.OBJECT also selects the object.
You must use the COPY function before the CREATE.OBJECT function to create a chart or a picture.
Tip To assign a macro to an object, use the ASSIGN.TO.OBJECT function immediately after creating the object.
