Help with Complex MySQL Queries - El Forum - 12-26-2011

Hello! I have been using CI for along time and I love most of it. I just ran into a hiccup though. Is there a way to write more complex (grouped/math-like) SQL expressions using active records?
In other words, is it possible to translate the following using active records?
Code:
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE id = 123 AND (approved = 1 OR created_by = current_user_id);*Note the brackets
I ended up with queries that use LIKE as well and get much longer but the above is a simpler case. All I want to know is if it's possible to add brackets within expressions and how would you to that.
Thanks in advance!
