# static loadDatabase()
If the database is empty, this function looks up the name of the load file in the settings file, and if it is specified, then it reads it in and calls define() on its contents in order to load the database. Console messages are generated when the contents of the load file does not include collections that this function assumes are present. Conversely, if the load file contains collections not processed with this file, a string is also printed out.
