No, the $this->db->last_query() method does not execute a query in CodeIgniter. It simply returns the last executed query as a string.
After executing a query using the Active Record methods or the Query Builder in CodeIgniter, you can use $this->db->last_query() to see the query that was executed. This can be helpful for debugging or optimization purposes.
Here's an example:
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('my_table');
$this->db->where('id', 1);
$query = $this->db->get();
echo $this->db->last_query();
In this example, we are selecting all columns from a table named "my_table" where the "id" column equals 1. After executing the query using $this->db->get(), we echo the last executed query using $this->db->last_query().
Note that the $this->db->last_query() method only works for the most recently executed query, so if you execute multiple queries in your code, you should call this method immediately after executing the query you want to inspect.
