What's the difference of these two ways of handle DB data?

Hi!

I have a question about using the methods of query builder. I found everywhere examples that looks like very much to the code below:

Code:

$this->db->insert('ST_ITM', $data);

However I couldn't make it work in any way and also didn't find any complete example showing how to use it.

What I managed to work for me was the example below that I picked from CI official documentation in their website:

PHP Code:

$db = \Config\Database::connect();
$builder = $db->table('news');
$result = $builder->insert($news); 


And that I called from:

PHP Code:

$modelo = new NewsModel();
$result = $modelo->saveNews($dados); 


Someone could please explain me how the first method works or point me to a complete example that shows that?

Thanks!
