Hello i was playing around with active record, and just got stuck with a select statement of
Code:
SELECT *,count(id),(SELECT MAX(id) FROM channelpollvote WHERE channelpollid=2) FROM channelpollvote WHERE channelpollid=2 GROUP BY vote;And i cannot think of how i could implement this :\
Does anyone know using the way of
$this->db->select();

May be better to use another method
$this->db->query('YOUR QUERY HERE');

Because this are too complex query (there have one sub query!).
Check CI manual for active record (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/active_record.html), but i don't thinks this is passable !
PS. Sorry ,but English not my natural language

Yes i know i can do a query like that, but the reason i didnt want to is, because in the future i may change databases from mysql to say pgsql and that may not support that exact query syntax.

I don't think CI's current implementation of Active Record can support that query. As the previous posted said, it's quite complex.
Active Record is great for the simple, every day, queries - but when you get into things like this - it's not always the best choice (or even a possible choice).
