Cutom string in where statement

[eluser]zovar[/eluser]
CI user guide says that we can use custom strings in $this->db->where():

Code:

$where = "name='Joe' AND status='boss' OR status='active'";

$this->db->where($where);

My string is as follows

Code:

$where = " tag='test' OR tag='test1' ";

$this->db->select('id')->from('tags')->where($where);

i get the following error

Code:

A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1054

Unknown column 'tag='test'' in 'where clause'

UPDATE `notes` SET `title` = 'title' WHERE `tag='test'` OR tag='test1' AND `id` = '13'

as you can seen the first where statement gets escaped...

OK, i think I have figured this out. There is a third parameter in where() which disables the backticks.
where($string, NULL, FALSE)
