I am searching for a solution where I can use two different sources of
bib files separately. I found that the same question was asked before at
this mail list. Since it was few years old, could I ask if there is any
new work done towards it?
Thanks!

Hello Peng,
For a Bibliography with separate sections you can use the following work-around:
Suppose you want a section "primary sources", for which you have the bibfile, say, ps.bib, and a section "secundary sources", for which have the bibfile ss.bib.
The first step is tro to make for each of them a .bbl-file with, what I would call, a "bbl-generator.tex":
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\setupbibtex[database=ps.bib,sort=author]
%\setupbibtex[database=ss.bib,sort=author]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa] %or any other style
\starttext
\stoptext
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This can be processed with mkii or mkiv. It generates a lot of auxiliary files, including an empty pdf, but the only important one is "bbl-generator.bbl", which you rename to ps.bbl or ss.bbl according to which of the two bib-files you used.(= did not comment out)
The other files you need are two .tex-files with the complete set of \nocite[]'s of the two databases. Personally I never used \nocite{*}. If you use a Mac with BibDesk it is quite easy to make such a file. It gives you some extra flexibility.
You can then generate the sectioned bibliography with:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\input(Your setups, including those for your Bibliography setup)
\starttext
\startchapter[bookmark=,label=,list=,marking=,reference=Bibliography,title={Bibliography}
\section{Primary sources}
\input ps.bbl
\input ps-nocite.tex
\placepublications[criterium=cite]
\section{Secundary sources}
\input ss.bbl
\input ss-nocite.tex
\placepublications[criterium=cite]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That's all.
I hope it works for you.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
