 All instances of {{{loader.py}}} need use of a local 'scratch' database in which to import FITS tables, manipulate then export.
 
+You can have more than one scratch database per machine. The naming convention for scratch databases on a single machine is:
+
+{{{
+ipptopsps_scratch
+ipptopsps_scratch2
+ipptopsps_scratch3
+}}}
+
+Instances of {{{loader.py}}} will cycle through all of the above until a 'free' scratch database is found. It is obviously important that two loaders do not use the same scratch database at the same time.
