How do I get access to the DB-object outside CI?

DB is not available in pre_conroller and post_controller_constructor is too late. This is why I have been banging on about mid_controller_constructor.

To get the same effect as my crazy hook point you can use MY_Controller.php constructor to log this.

Other than that, you will NOT have much joy trying to run the DB class early, and will need to include the db config and use native MySQL functions.
