One thing I do in my models:

$this->db->.....

$data = $this->db->get('table');

return $data->result();

No sense in returning the result object when you can just return the data and start manipulating it right off the bat.

Example:

Code:

function countup($link_id) {
        $this->db->query('UPDATE awLinks SET link_clicks = (link_clicks + 1) WHERE link_id = '.$link_id);
        $this->db->select('link_url')->where('link_id', $link_id);
        $link = $this->db->get('awLinks');
        return ($link->num_rows() > 0) ? $link->row() : FALSE;
    }
