Query builder returns all properties as String

The entities are a step in the right direction. Why not create a base entity with the common field types (INT, FLOAT, DATETIME, etc.) for the query builder?

You can already do that with property casting: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/model...ty-casting

Exaclty what I meant. But still need to create the entity class. I was wondering if CI can do it in a regular query.
