+## Custom database tables
+
+You can add tables by declaring them using the SQLAlchemy syntax,
+then use Alembic to generate migrations for your tables.
+This allows Flaschengeist to proper up- or downgrade the
+database tables if an user updates your plugin.
+
+migrations have to be provided in a directory called `migrations`
+next to your plugin. E.G.
+
+    myplugin
+        - __init__.py
+        - other/
