Combining `where` and `like` statements by using the CI activerecords

Question

To cut a long story short: Is it possible and if it is - how can I build a query that looks somewhat like this one

SELECT * FROM a
    WHERE row = 1 AND

You can try this.

   $query = $this->db->select('*')
            ->from('a')
            ->where('row',1)
            ->where("(other_row LIKE '%%' OR another_row LIKE '%%' )")
            ->get();


    foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
        //do sth.
    }

You can write custom query string (from active record class)

 Custom string:
 You can write your own clauses manually:

 $where = "name='Joe' AND status='boss' OR status='active'";

 $this->db->where($where);
