Since I have a little extra time on my hands I went ahead and updated this library from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1 and got DBForge working.

My hope here is to use this on smaller projects that don’t require a frame-work – like one project I did for a local Insurance Broker.

The idea here is I can use basic Models that are transferable to CodeIgniter with minimal modification.

This should give a nice migration from no frame to CodeIgniter.   Sometimes a client has what starts out as a simple project but grows into something that would better be done in a frame work.  This way migration is easier because you already have your models setup.   This is the theory anyway.

I have updated  for my own purposes the ActiveRecord library from CI 1.7.0 so you can use it in a standalone mode

The original version was downloaded from http://hasin.wordpress.com/

I had to remove a few things so test it out before you use it, my testing only extended to selects, inserts and truncating tables.   It really needs some error handling added in if you are doing anything but dead simple queries.
