How to read from the database ?

[mihai11]

Hi,

It seems that there are several functions for this: query_read, query_read_slave, query_first, query_first_slave. When it is appropiate to use each of them ?

Regards,

query_read(_slave) is for select queries, while query_first(_slave) will return the first row of the result. _slave will use the slave database (if there is one)

There's also query_write, which you can use for updates and inserts, etc.
