I use this feature extensively. I have a central server that acts as a failover for multiple other devices. Each device has its own database, a copy of which is kept on the server. So the server has an arbitrary number of databases, all of which have identical schema. Because the server must be able to emulate multiple devices, I use a separate thread for each device. Each thread accesses the database for a particular device. "The ability for a single model to be accessible by multiple repositories all at the *same time*," along with good threading support, is the reason I switched from AR to DM.
