UNION query with codeigniter's active record pattern

activerecord, codeigniter, mysql, sql, union

Solution

CodeIgniter's ActiveRecord doesn't support UNION, so you would just write your query and use the ActiveRecord's query method.

$this->db->query('SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name1 UNION SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name2');

Problem

How to do UNION query with PHP CodeIgniter framework's active record query format?
