Predefined objects’ methods are functionalities which are already defined and you can use it directly.
It prevents from DRY, which means Don't Repeat Yourself. Don’t write code unless you have to. Write code only what you need, if you missed these predefined objects’ methods then you may repeat codes.
You can find predefined objects’ methods at system/library
Opencart has many predefined objects’ methods that can be called in Controller and Model. Like in admin section we can see predefined objects like: config, log, event, load, request, response, db, session, cache, url, langauge, openbay, document, customer, currency, tax, weight, length, cart, encryption, model_setting_event, user.
Database Object of Opencart is
$this->db
Methods are:
$this->db->escape($value) - mysql_real_escape_string() on the value passed
$this->db->countAffected() - rows affected by an UPDATE query
$this->db->getLastId() - last auto increment id same as mysql_insert_id()
$this->db->connected() – Pings a server connection, or tries to reconnect if the connection has gone down
$this->db->query($sql)
All SQL queries are run from $this->db->query method which looks like: $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "category WHERE $this->db->query("REPLACE INTO `" . DB_PREFIX . "category_path` SET ...); $this->db->query("INSERT INTO `" . DB_PREFIX . "category_path` SET ...); $this->db->query("DELETE FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "category WHERE ...); $this->db->query("UPDATE " . DB_PREFIX . "category SET image = ...);
$this->db->query method returns three properties:
$result->num_rows = $query->num_rows; - gets the number of rows in a results
$result->row = isset($data[0]) ? $data[0] : array(); - get the first row data
$result->rows = $data; - get an array of row results
How to create the database table in OpenCart? Video tutorial - Opencart Development
Things to consider while creating the database
OpenCart supports multistore
It supports multi-language
Multiple Layouts
oc_ is default database prefix if you have not customized one. If you are creating table then better to make 4 tables, one which will contain language specific contents here oc_information_description, another is non-language specific oc_information and other which joins with the store and last one which joins to layout.
Another database table to take into consideration is seo_url if you are creating new pages, if you are creating only for module then it may not be used
Create config files one at root folder and another inside admin/ folder.

If you see any other errors then you have to solve them. One could curl disabled which you have to enable from php.ini
Delete the install folder, if you rename the folder then you are a by-passing error message but there will be security holes remained in that folder so the hacker can find it easily and exploit your database so strongly recommended to delete the install folder after installation is complete.
