CodeIgniter Active Record中的SQL注释？

Question

I'm moving a project to CodeIgniter and want to take advantage of Active Record. However, I haven't found a way to append a SQL comment to the queries. In the existing code the query looks something like this:

UPDATE table
SET column = 'value'
WHERE  ID = passed value;
-- Transacted by ' .$_SESSION['Name']

I've search Google and SO and not found the answer to how to add that last "Transacted by" comment without coding the whole thing directly and using $this->db->query('.....')

Answer 1

I don't believe this is possible within ActiveRecord, as AR's functionality is a little restrictive. One option that may work is using a custom string for your "where" clause, and sticking your transaction comment at the end of your custom "where" string. I haven't tested this myself.

Even if you have to do the query manually, CI provides some nice escaping functions ( $this->db->escape for numbers, $this->db->escape_str for 'where' strings and $this->db->escape_like_str for 'where like' strings) that should make your own queries safe - I know in most of my more complex CI apps I need to write custom queries for about 1/5 of my queries due to the restrictiveness of AR.

Kudos to Darrrrrren for getting me on the right track.

I defined a variable in my controller like this: $this->sqlStamp = ' /* Executed by ' .strtoupper( $this->router->class .'->' .$this->router->method) .' for ' .strtoupper( $this->session->userdata('displayName') ) .'*/ '; $this->sqlStamp = ' /* Executed by ' .strtoupper( $this->router->class .'->' .$this->router->method) .' for ' .strtoupper( $this->session->userdata('displayName') ) .'*/ ';

For Updates and deletes I was able to tack on ->where('1=1'.$this->sqlStamp, NULL, false) .

I wasn't able to get a solution to Inserts since they have no where statement and attempts to inject the comments elsewhere didn't seem to work. I ended up running this before the inserts to give the DBA something to look for: $this->db->get_where('Same_TableName','0=1'.$this->sqlStamp);
