I have a two column table called features

Code:
CREATE TABLE `features` (
                `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
                `feature` varchar(255),
                PRIMARY KEY(`id`)
            ) ENGINE=InnoDB default charset=UTF8

And during install I want to add the features automcatically.

Code:
INSERT INTO (`features`) VALUES ('Air Conditioning','Alarm','Balcony','Cable/Satellite','Carpeted Floors', 'Disposal','Dishwasher','Fireplace','Gas Range','Hardwood Floors','Microwave','Patio/Deck','Tiled Shower','Washer/Dryer','Waterfront','Wheelchair Access

Whats the easiest way with Codeigniter Active Record. Thanks.

Code:
// In controller
$this->model_name->set_initial_data();

// in model
function set_initial_data()
{
   $initial_data = array(
      'Air Conditioning',
      'Alarm',
      'Balcony',
      'Cable/Satellite',
      'Carpeted Floors',
      'Disposal',
      'Dishwasher',
      'Fireplace',
      'Gas Range',
      'Hardwood Floors',
      'Microwave',
      'Patio/Deck',
      'Tiled Shower',
      'Washer/Dryer',
      'Waterfront',
      'Wheelchair Access'
   );

   $this->db->truncate('features');
   foreach($initial_data as $single_data) $this->db->insert('features', array('feature' => $single_data));
}

Your insert synthax is wrong. I believe that that correct synthax for quick insert is:
Code:
INSERT INTO (`features`) VALUES ('Air Conditioning'),('Alarm'),('Balcony'),('Cable/Satellite'),('Carpeted Floors');

I do not think using Active records is that relevant in this case (hard coded inserts).

What you mean wrong? Its a valid synthax. And if you want to use general SQL statement, it should be
Code:
INSERT INTO features VALUES (NULL,'values_1'),(NULL,'values_2'),(NULL,'values_3');
or, like my above statement
Code:
INSERT INTO features (feature) VALUES ('values_1'),('values_2'),('values_3');
Your code will generates error, since it not specify the column name or the 'id' column value!

Why not relevant? AR, in codeigniter, is the safest way to insert sql statement and makes your code cleaner!
