Neater way to extract 'count(id)' style entries from query->row() call

[quote author="xwero" date="1235950991"]the AR class of the database library has the methods count_all and count_all_results which give you a nicer way to get the row count.[/quote]

I was avoiding that one since he appeared to be wanting to use the db->query style. For those that are curious:

Code:

$raw_count = $this->db->count_all('my_table');
