Best place for loading web app settings from database

Hi everyone! Simple question

What if I save some site settings in database, so where would be the best place for autoload it?

By now I ovveride CI_Loader function initialize

PHP Code:

public function initialize()
{
    parent::initialize();
        
        //Load site settings from DB
        $CI =& get_instance();
        $settings = $CI->model_with_settings_from_database->some_method();
        foreach($settings As $key => $val)
        {
            $CI->config->set_item($key, $val);
        }
    } 


What u thinking about that?

Thanks!
