table name

I have a model in CI 4.1 than only has a method that do something like 

PHP Code:

public function myfunction() {
  return $this->query('select XXX from XXX where XXX')->getRowArray();
} 


I have updated to CI 4.4.5 and now I must set a table, that does nothing, because I only use ->query. Indeed I can type anything in $this->table cause no real efect.

PHP Code:

public function myfunction() {
  $this->table = 'YYY';
  return $this->query('select XXX from XXX where XXX')->getRowArray();
} 


¿Why is needed set table for query? for other methods usage it is ok, but is weird and counter intuitive for only cast a query.

you don't need a model, in your controller just write

PHP Code:

$rows= $this->db->query('select xxx from xxx where xxx')->getResult() or $row=$this->db->query('select....')->getRow()
