Hi

Does anyone know if its possible to do a 'select distinct' using the active record class rather than doing it manually?

cheers

The AR class is just a fancy string builder. For example:

Code:
&lt;?php

$this->db->select('DISTINCT foo.bar, baz.field1, baz.field2');

$this->db->from('footable AS foo');

$this->db->join('baztable AS baz', 'foo.bar=baz.bip');

$this->db->where('baz.importantvalue', 123);

// and even....

$this->db->orderby('RAND()');
