+
+# Database Scenarios
+
+You can use Flask-Alembic with Flask-SQLAlchemy, Flask-SQLAlchemy-Lite, or plain
+SQLAlchemy. Alembic's single and multiple database templates are supported.
+
+## Flask-SQLAlchemy
+
+The default engine (`db.engine`) and metadata (`db.metadata`) will automatically
+be used. If multiple binds are configured, they (`db.engines`) will be used if
+multiple metadatas are configured in Flask-Alembic. Additional metadata
+(`db.metadatas`) will not be used automatically however, as it's not possible to
+know which are external and should not be migrated.
+
+## Flask-SQLAlchemy-Lite
+
+The default engine (`db.engine`) will automatically be used. Since
+Flask-SQLAlchemy-Lite does not manage the models, tables, or metadata itself,
+the metadata you define must be passed to `Alembic`.
+
+```python
+from flask_alembic import Alembic
+from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
+
+class Model(DeclarativeBase):
+    pass
+
+alembic = Alembic(metadatas=Model.metadata)
+```
+
+## Plain SQLAlchemy
+
+If you are not using either extension, but defining SQLAlchemy engines and
+models/metadata manually, you can pass them to `Alembic`. You can also do this
+when using either extension to control exactly what is used for migrations.
+
+```python
+from flask_alembic import Alembic
+from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
+
+engine = create_engine("sqlite:///default.sqlite")
+
+class Model(DeclarativeBase):
+    pass
+
+alembic = Alembic(metadatas=Model.metadata, engines=engine)
+```
+
+## Multiple Databases
+
+If you need to manage migrations across multiple databases, you can specify
+multiple metadata and engines to run migrations on. Flask-Alembic will use
+Alembic's suggested `multidb` template for generating and running migrations.
+
+The `metadatas` argument can be a dict mapping string names to a single
+metadata or list of metadatas. When using Flask-SQLAlchemy(-Lite), `db.engines`
+is automatically used, so the keys there should match up with the keys in
+`metadatas`. Otherwise, the `engines` argument can be a dict mapping the same
+string names to engines.
+
+```python
+from flask import Flask
+from flask_alembic import Alembic
+from flask_sqlalchemy_lite import SQLAlchemy
+from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
+
+class DefaultBase(DeclarativeBase):
+    pass
+
+class AuthBase(DeclarativeBase):
+    pass
+
+db = SQLAlchemy()
+alembic = Alembic(
+    metadatas={
+        "default": DefaultBase.metadata,
+        "auth": AuthBase.metadata,
+    },
+)
+app = Flask(__name__)
+app.config["SQLALCHEMY_ENGINES"] = {
+    "default": "sqlite:///default.sqlite",
+    "auth": "postgresql:///app-auth",
+}
+db.init_app(app)
+alembic.init_app(app)
+```
+
+When `alembic.init_app` is called, it creates the migrations directory and
+script template if it does not exist. It will choose the `generic` (single
+database) template if only one name is configured, or the `multidb` template if
+more are configured. Due to the way Alembic works, the two templates are not
+compatible. If you switch to single or multiple databases later after generating
+migrations, you'll need to replace the `script.py.mako` file and modify the
+existing migrations. A good strategy in that scenario may be to delete existing
+migrations and start from scratch.
+
+## Multiple Metadatas
+
+It's possible to split your models/tables for a database across multiple
+metadatas. In that case, you can pass a list of metadatas instead of a single
+metadata. If you're only managing a single database, you can pass the list
+directly to `metadatas`, otherwise any value in the dict can be a list.
+
+
+```python
+from flask_alembic import Alembic
+from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
+
+class DefaultBase(DeclarativeBase):
+    pass
+
+class AuthBase(DeclarativeBase):
+    pass
+
+alembic = Alembic(metadatas=[DefaultBase.metadata, AuthBase.metadata])
+```
