CRUD with Ci 1.7

[eluser]Xeoncross[/eluser]
I have made several attempts at good models for doing things in a database - only to find that everyone I make seems to end up taking just as much code to call the function - yet now I am also wasting space and time by adding more objects to my application load.

Just like you showed earlier Colin, I just can't seem to beat the one/two lines it takes to just use the AR CodeIgniter already provides.

Code:

$query = $this->db->get_where('mytable', array('id' => $id));
