在Codeigniter 3中，您可以用途：

$this->db->select()
  ->from('users')
  ->where('name !=', 'Joe')
  ->group_start() // Open bracket
    ->where('age <', 69)
    ->or_where('id <', $id)
  ->group_end(); // Close bracket

在Codeigniter 4中，您可以用途：

$builder->select('*')
  ->from('users')
  ->where('name !=', 'Joe')
  ->groupStart()
    ->where('age <', 69)
    ->orWhere('id <', $id)
  ->groupEnd();

也许能帮上忙

可以使用一个大字符串。
$this->db->select()->from('users')->where("name != 'Joe' AND (age < 69 OR id > 50) ");

where子句的分组默认不在CI中，需要扩展核心，增加能力，我做了如下工作：

class MY_DB_mysql_driver extends CI_DB_mysql_driver 
{       
    public function __construct($params) 
    {
    parent::__construct($params);
    }
    /** 
     * This function will allow you to do complex group where clauses in to c and (a AND b) or ( d and e)
     * This function is needed as else the where clause will append an automatic AND in front of each where Thus if you wanted to do something
     * like a AND ((b AND c) OR (d AND e)) you won't be able to as the where would insert it as a AND (AND (b...)) which is incorrect. 
     * Usage: start_group_where(key,value)->where(key,value)->close_group_where() or complex queries like
     *        open_bracket()->start_group_where(key,value)->where(key,value)->close_group_where()
     *        ->start_group_where(key,value,'','OR')->close_group_where()->close_bracket() would produce AND ((a AND b) OR (d))
     * @param $key mixed the table columns prefix.columnname
     * @param $value mixed the value of the key
     * @param $escape string any escape as per CI
     * @param $type the TYPE of query. By default it is set to 'AND' 
     * @return db object.  
     */
    function start_group_where($key,$value=NULL,$escape,$type="AND")
    {
        $this->open_bracket($type); 
        return parent::_where($key, $value,'',$escape); 
    }

    /**
     * Strictly used to have a consistent close function as the start_group_where. This essentially callse the close_bracket() function. 
     */
    function close_group_where()
    {
        return $this->close_bracket();  
    }

    /**
     * Allows to place a simple ( in a query and prepend it with the $type if needed. 
     * @param $type string add a ( to a query and prepend it with type. Default is $type. 
     * @param $return db object. 
     */
    function open_bracket($type="AND")
    {
        $this->ar_where[] = $type . " (";
        return $this;  
    }   

    /**
     * Allows to place a simple ) to a query. 
     */
    function close_bracket()
    {
        $this->ar_where[] = ")"; 
        return $this;       
    }
}

用法：

group_where_start(key,value)->where(key,value)->group_where_close()

或
复杂查询，如

open_bracket()->start_group_where(key,value)->where(key,value)->close_group_where()->start_group_where(key,value,'','OR')->close_group_where()->close_bracket() would produce AND ((a AND b) OR (d))

CI 3有你需要的一切！

$this->db->select('*')->from('my_table')
        ->group_start()
                ->where('a', 'a')
                ->or_group_start()
                        ->where('b', 'b')
                        ->where('c', 'c')
                ->group_end()
        ->group_end()
        ->where('d', 'd')
->get();

https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/database/query_builder.html#query-grouping

我所做的是在where之后复制and子句，这实际上与长字符串选择相同。

$this->db->select()
  ->from('users')
  ->where('name !=', 'Joe')
  ->where('age <', 69)
  ->or_where('id <', $id)
  ->where('name !=', 'Joe');

一个大字符串的方式可能更好。

动态生成SQL查询并将其插入$this->db->where()。谢谢大家！
