Seeing query before submitting - El Forum - 06-14-2010

This may be a newbie question, but something I can't find in the docs very easily:
Is there a way to see a query string that's built before actually running the query? I know last_query shows you what was run, but for debugging, I'd like to see it without actually submitting it.
$data = array(
'myfield1' => $EmployeeNo,
'myfield2' => date("Y-m-d")
);
$this->db->where('recordno', $RecordNumber);
$this->db->update('propertytable', $data);
This will actually execute the query -- how do I just get a string of what the query will look like to confirm it's being built correctly with my data?

The following code works for SELECT statements. Not sure on an UPDATE so your mileage may vary. Feel free to try it and post if it works:
Code:
// get compiled select statement
$compiled_query = $this->db->_compile_select();
echo $compiled_query;EDIT...Problem may be that you need to call it before calling update. Hmmm????
On second thought, call it before update(). At least you'll get a SELECT version that will show what goes in your WHERE clause.
