Simple question about autoloading the database

[eluser]Tom Glover[/eluser]
The default config files are automatically loaded by CI core. Auto loading the database library does not automatically connect CI to the database, but saves you writing $this->load->library('database') in every model. CI connects to the database when you the the model function to or when you load the model. all the information about this can be found in the database section of the user guide.
