The database class provides a wrapper of most common functions used for database access, and also others which simplify common queries. All queries performed with the database through the database abstraction layer can be analyzed for the execution time and further optimization.

Executes an SQL query with your database. Notice that the write_query method is now preferred.

Similar to the query method, except write_query executes the query on the slave database in case you happen to have a multi-database server setup. Write_query is now preferred over query.

See Simple Select.

Returns an array of values for the first row (can be iterated through with a while statement)

Example:

$query=$db->query("SELECT * FROM Table [WHERE Field='Value']");
while($result=$db->fetch_array($query))
{
   $data1=$result['FieldName1'];
   $data2=$result['FieldName2'];
  (etc.)
}

See Fetch_Field.

Returns the number of rows in the query

Returns the insert id (The id of the primary key) of the insert query just run

Runs an insert query on a table in a database. Receive two parameters:

1. string - The table name to perform the query on.
2. array - An array of fields and their values.

Build an insert query from the array and executes the query using $db->query

Runs an update query on a table in a database.
parameters: ('table name', 'update array', 'conditional')

Returns the amount of affected rows from a "write" query

Returns the number of fields of the specified query resource

Returns the tables in the current open database

Returns true if the specified table exists

Returns true if the specified field exists

Runs a query thats performed when php is done parsing the file

Runs a complex query (join queries). (Note: Depreciated in MyBB 1.4)

Returns the version number of the database server being used

Runs an optimize query on a table
