At the moment I load the database class in my autoload which automatically creates a connection to mysql. If there are no queries it will have still created a connection.
For performance I only want to connect to mysql if a query has been run.
What would be the best way to achieve this?
I am thinking of writing a model function that all queries run through which detects if the database has been connected to or not, and simply calls $this->load->database() if not before running $this->db->query().
The problem with this is that I would have to change all of my $this->db->query() references in my code which is a pain.
Ideally I would like to extend the $this->db->query() function to support this.
Any ideas?
* edit: didn't see the autoinit function ;-)
