KO3 ORM Questions

Question

Kohana3 ORM newbie here.

I got few fast questions:

1. I got a following code $user = ORM::factory('user')->where('key', '=', $key)->find();. IT's working correctly however... How to check if the query return anything?

2. When I'm trying to update, new record is being instered. Why? $user->status = '1'; $user->save();

Answer 1

1. You can use $user->loaded(). Please review Unofficial Kohana 3.0 Wiki for more resources and tutorials.
2. Is this your whole code?
