Check out this helpful tutorial:

Also, you are aware that you are asking about procedural programming on a Framework forum.. ? You shouldn't have do do what you're doing with CodeIgniter.

Also, make sure you created the table named "demo" (without quotes)

I would recommend using the built in connection. The whole reason behind using frameworks is to make your life easier.
Just go to /application/config/database.php
This defaults to work with MySQL and just fill in the requirements. Then in your controller just add the following line.
$this->load->database('default');
Good luck!
