Interesting request - out of interest why are you needing to do this?

I had a quick look around the active record class and found you could grab it doing the following - cant comment on the reliablity of doing it this way as it isn't documented as it is just an internal function but does seems to work..

Code:

$sql = $this->db->_compile_select();
