You cannot have a db holding multiple schemas (though it might be
useful to _extend_ a db, for instance with annotations, this is not
supported for the moment). So, if your target is bibtex, you might
create a db with a bibtex schema, use the BibTeX reader on it, then
adapt this same db as your second schema, and use the reader for your
second schema on the adapted version.

Adapters are pretty young, so you might not have the one you would
like. They are pretty simple to implement (though boring), see
Pyblio.Adapters for samples.

Let me know if you run into problems with this.
