I’m coding an application with server resources in mind, so I don’t want to use too much so that this application scales in the future. I don’t mind writing my own queries. So, is ActiveRecord resource intensive for my application? Or does it not make a difference?
Thanks!
CI’s ActiveRecord is basically not an ActiveRecord, but a Query Builder. It allows you to form simple queries in an object oriented manner. Like with any abstraction, assembling from object state into a SQL query is slower than hardcoding it, but I suspect the performance impact to be negligible.
