Hello,
I see that this thread has evolved to include some specific examples.

I would like to pose a general question, in the form of several questions.

Accepting that the MVC framework is to be followed in an architectural sense, does the CI base Model object actually contain any specific functions that differentiate it for data handling?

What are the key functional differences between the Model and the Library objects?

Say we have 2 tasks to extend from the main controller, one involving db data access/update and one not. If we step outside the MVC architecture for a moment, and just look at the CI Model and Library objects based purely on their functional offerings, is there anything compelling the choice of one or the other for the afor-mentioned tasks?
