CodeIgniter & DBForge - Create Database and Tables

Question

I\'m trying to write a script in CodeIgniter that will create a database and then will add tables to that newly created database along with various fields in to the new tabl

Answer 1

A better way is to get a dbforge class representing the database you want to manipulate

$this->myforge = $this->load->dbforge($this->other_db, TRUE);

Use the $this->myforge object to work as usual.

This method will avoid conflicts when building libraries. It's best not to mess with the default database of your library users at run time.
