mixing OCI & Code Igniter's AR: AR is just a wrapper to the OCI8 functions so why would you want to mix them in the first place, if you did AR is handling all the oci calls so mixing them is likely a recipe for failure.

AR builds the query for you, if you use AR then you are handing over control of creating the query to the code generator, you can't play mix and match here either.
