Hi all,
What is the best way to CRUD into different tables into the database without having to keep repeating myself?
I have seen some database libs kicking about but not sure how they work, can some explain this and what is the best way to achieve this?

Joost's video tutorial is an excellent way to understand them: http://codeigniter.tv/
Jesse Terry has written a nice one: https://github.com/jesseterry/CodeIgniter-CRUD-Model
Jamie Rumbelow has as well: https://github.com/jamierumbelow/codeigniter-base-model that I wrote a brief tutorial about how to use: http://www.codebyjeff.com/blog/2012/01/using-jamie-rumbelows-my_model
Definitely choose one or build your own and always be in the habit of using it - I wish a basic default MY_Model was included in CI & taught as the standard way to start coding projects
