This particular application has been in use for over a year now, and uses several dozen models, and I am having trouble only with this one particular new function.

```
public function get_slides($promo = NULL) {

    $sql = "SELECT description as alt, image, link
    FROM " . CONFIG_DATABASE . ".slides
    WHERE active = '1' AND acct_no = '" . API_ACCT . "' ORDER BY priority ASC;";

    $query = $this->db->query($sql);

    var_dump($sql);
    var_dump($query);

    return $query->result_array();

}

```

The results of this are:

```
string 'SELECT description as alt, image, link
        FROM web_config_development.slides
        WHERE active = '1' AND acct_no = '10001' ORDER BY priority ASC;' (length=143)
boolean false

```

Followed by:

> 
> Fatal error: Call to a member function result\_array() on a non-object
> 
>

The query works fine in MySQL Workbench. In my searching for this issue I have come across docs referring to true/false responses on INSERT and DELETE, but not on SELECT.

This does not make any sense ... if you have any ideas, sharing them would be greatly appreciated.
