Persisting the table name in codeigniter models <p>In my models I'm setting them up using constructors like the following</p> <pre><code>function Areas() { parent::Model(); $this-&gt;db-&gt;from("areas"); } </code></pre> <p>However, if a method of my model queries the database several times it looks like the FROM clause is only included in the first query. Is there an easy way to persist the FROM for all queries run within my model (unless I manually override it)?</p>
