[SOLVED] How to change db connection in CI - plonknimbuzz - 01-30-2018

i want to dump my old db to my new db design which have different stucture.
i dump all my table and save query using get_compiled_insert() to file.

the problem is my old db is sql server and my new db is mysql

example
$this->db->set(['id'=>1, 'name'=>'john'])->get_compiled_insert('table');

result : INSERT INTO "table" ("id", "name") VALUES ('1', 'john')

this is valid sql server query but not in mysql, because the right query in mysql is: INSERT INTO `table` (`id`, `name`) VALUES ('1', 'john')

conclusion:
script: $this->db->set(['id'=>1, 'name'=>'john'])->get_compiled_insert('table');
with sql server connection: INSERT INTO "table" ("id", "name") VALUES ('1', 'john')
with mysql connection: INSERT INTO `table` (`id`, `name`) VALUES ('1', 'john')

what i want is dump sql server data to build mysql query.
i really can solve this with my own code (build query manually), but i want to do the right way in CI.

How to do this in the right way(best practice)?
maybe i can dump the data using sql server connection and build compiled query using mysql connection.
thanks

That's not entirely true.

Double quotes are the correct identifier escape character per the SQL standards and MySQL does support that via the ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode.

Possibly, the mode name is ANSI_QUOTES, but phpMyAdmin may be shortening it ... idk.
