 ## Advanced Usage
 
+### Postgres container de-duping
+
+In rare cases, you may want to spawn more than one Postgres container.
+
+Internally, this library uses an AVA "shared worker". A shared worker is a singleton shared with the entire running test suite, and so one `ava-postgres` shared worker maps to exactly one Postgres container.
+
+To spawn separate shared workers and thus additional Postgres containers, you have two options:
+
+**Specify different version strings for the `postgresVersion` option in the factory function**:
+
+```ts
+const getTestPostgresDatabase = getTestPostgresDatabaseFactory({
+  postgresVersion: "14",
+})
+```
+
+Each unique version will map to a unique shared worker.
+
+**Set the `workerDedupeKey` option in the factory function**:
+
+```ts
+const getTestPostgresDatabase = getTestPostgresDatabaseFactory({
+  workerDedupeKey: "foo",
+})
+```
+
+Each unique key will map to a unique shared worker.
+
+### Database de-duping
+
+By default, `ava-postgres` will create a new database for each test. If you want to share a database between tests, you can use the `databaseDedupeKey` option:
+
+```ts
+import test from "ava"
+const getTestPostgresDatabase = getTestPostgresDatabaseFactory({})
+
+test("foo", async (t) => {
+  const connection1 = await getTestPostgresDatabase(t, null, {
+    databaseDedupeKey: "foo",
+  })
+  const connection2 = await getTestPostgresDatabase(t, null, {
+    databaseDedupeKey: "foo",
+  })
+  t.is(connection1.database, connection2.database)
+})
+```
+
+This works across the entire test suite.
+
+Note that if unique parameters are passed to the `beforeTemplateIsBaked` (`null` in the above example), separate databases will still be created.
+
+### "Nested" `beforeTemplateIsBaked` calls
+
+In some cases, if you do extensive setup in your `beforeTemplateIsBaked` hook, you might want to obtain a separate, additional database within it if your application uses several databases for different purposes. This is possible by using the passed `beforeTemplateIsBaked` to your hook callback:
+
+```ts
+type DatabaseParams = {
+  type: "foo" | "bar"
+}
+
+const getTestServer = getTestPostgresDatabaseFactory<DatabaseParams>({
+  beforeTemplateIsBaked: async ({
+    params,
+    connection: { pool },
+    beforeTemplateIsBaked,
+  }) => {
+    if (params.type === "foo") {
+      await pool.query(`CREATE TABLE "foo" ("id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY)`)
+      // Important: return early to avoid infinite loop
+      return
+    }
+
+    await pool.query(`CREATE TABLE "bar" ("id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY)`)
+    // This created database will be torn down at the end of the top-level `beforeTemplateIsBaked` call
+    const fooDatabase = await beforeTemplateIsBaked({
+      params: { type: "foo" },
+    })
+
+    // This works now
+    await fooDatabase.pool.query(`INSERT INTO "foo" DEFAULT VALUES`)
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Be very careful when using this to avoid infinite loops.

 ### Bind mounts & `exec`ing in the container
 
 `ava-postgres` uses [testcontainers](https://www.npmjs.com/package/testcontainers) under the hood to manage the Postgres container.
