+### Customizing Advisory Lock Names
+
+By default, closure_tree generates advisory lock names based on the model class name. You can customize
+this behavior in several ways:
+
+```ruby
+# Static string
+class Tag < ApplicationRecord
+  has_closure_tree advisory_lock_name: 'custom_tag_lock'
+end
+
+# Dynamic via Proc
+class Tag < ApplicationRecord
+  has_closure_tree advisory_lock_name: ->(model_class) { "#{Rails.env}_#{model_class.name.underscore}" }
+end
+
+# Delegate to model method
+class Tag < ApplicationRecord
+  has_closure_tree advisory_lock_name: :custom_lock_name
+  
+  def self.custom_lock_name
+    "tag_lock_#{current_tenant_id}"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This is particularly useful when:
+* You need environment-specific lock names
+* You're using multi-tenancy and need tenant-specific locks
+* You want to avoid lock name collisions between similar model names
+
+## Multi-Database Support
+
+Closure Tree fully supports running with multiple databases simultaneously, including mixing different database engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) in the same application. This is particularly useful for:
+
+* Applications with read replicas
+* Sharding strategies
+* Testing with different database engines
+* Gradual database migrations
+
+### Database-Specific Behaviors
+
+#### PostgreSQL
+* Full support for advisory locks via `with_advisory_lock`
+* Excellent concurrency support with row-level locking
+* Best overall performance for tree operations
+
+#### MySQL
+* Advisory locks supported via `with_advisory_lock`
+* Note: MySQL's row-level locking may incorrectly report deadlocks in some cases
+* Requires MySQL 5.7.12+ to avoid hierarchy maintenance errors
+
+#### SQLite
+* **No advisory lock support** - always returns false from `with_advisory_lock`
+* Falls back to file-based locking for tests
+* Suitable for development and testing, but not recommended for production with concurrent writes
+
+### Configuration
+
+When using multiple databases, closure_tree automatically detects the correct adapter for each connection:
+
+```ruby
+class Tag < ApplicationRecord
+  connects_to database: { writing: :primary, reading: :replica }
+  has_closure_tree
+end
+
+class Category < ApplicationRecord  
+  connects_to database: { writing: :sqlite_db }
+  has_closure_tree
+end
+```
+
+Each model will use the appropriate database-specific SQL syntax and features based on its connection adapter.
+
+### Testing with Multiple Databases
+
+You can run the test suite against different databases:
+
+```bash
+# Run with PostgreSQL
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/closure_tree_test rake test
+
+# Run with MySQL  
+DATABASE_URL=mysql2://localhost/closure_tree_test rake test
+
+# Run with SQLite (default)
+rake test
+```
+
+For simultaneous multi-database testing, the test suite automatically sets up connections to all three database types when available.
