 provided with the Quartz library. It is also possible to provide a custom script by
 setting the `spring.quartz.jdbc.schema` property.
 
+To have Quartz use a `DataSource` other than the application's main `DataSource`, declare
+a `DataSource` bean, annotating its `@Bean` method with `@QuartzDataSource`. Doing so
+ensures that the Quartz-specific `DataSource` is used by both the `SchedulerFactoryBean`
+and for schema initialization.

 By default, jobs created by configuration will not overwrite already registered jobs that
 have been read from a persistent job store. To enable overwriting existing job definitions
 set the `spring.quartz.overwrite-existing-jobs` property.
