Add information to a csv_from_result that doesnt appear in the database - El Forum - 07-15-2009

I have a export that needs to have a number in a column (same number for every row) that needs to be added to a csv from result but the number doesnt exist in the database.

Is there a way I can do a select and add the number into a column in the results

If it's the same number for every row then yes, just select a string.

e.g.
select '123' as name_for_your_number, column_1, column_2, etc.

perfect, thanks very much.

CI code I am now using is:
Code:
$this->db->select("'1701' as `field2`", FALSE);
