A question about Active Record

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello, I hereby welcome myself to the forum :-)

I would like to have a function that returns the first and only result from a result, and gives an error if there is more than one row. Simple to implement, I know, but it would be a feature worthy of being built in the Active Record I think.

It does exist in the Hibernate API (and I love it): http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api...ueResult()

What do you guys think?

Hard to see a lot of practical uses for it - if you're asking if it should be implemented in CI core, it might better asked in the Feature Request forum.

As you say, though - very trivial to implement in either the model or controller...

Such a function makes the application a bit less error-prone I think.
