title: How can you run a mysqli query with CodeIgniter?
body: <p>Does anyone have a clue how to run a mysqli query with CI. I did change the db driver in the config file, but I'm still unable to use multiple queries like</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sql = "SELECT * FROM c WHERE 1;
          DROP TABLE IF EXISTS c;"
  $query = $this-&gt;db-&gt;query($sql);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone has any clue how to do this using only CI, no additional libraries, because theoretically CI supports mysqli.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
