 ```javascript
+// In-memory only datastore
+var Datastore = require('nedb')
+  , db = new Datastore();   // Call the constructor without any argument
+// No need to call loadDatabase(), you can begin inserting data and query it right away

 var Datastore = require('nedb')
   , db = new Datastore('path/to/datafile');
