About reference in appendix

Question

After adding an additional reference section in the appendix part, I want to the number of each reference item is after the number of reference in the main body of the paper.

So that it should be like this:

Main Part

Reference

[1]

[2]

Appendix

Reference

[3]

[4]

Not the following:

Main Part

Reference

[1]

[2]

Appendix

Reference

[1]

[2]

How to do the job?

Part of my latex file is:

\documentclass{vldb}  
\begin{document}

Answer 1

As you are creating your bibliographies "manually" (i.e. without the help of BibTeX or biber), you have to adjust the value of the counter enumiv (which is used by the thebibliography environment) at the start of the second bibliography.

Note: The corrext syntax is \begin{bibliography}{9} (with 9 representing the width of your widest biblabel). And \appendix is a command, not an environment. (I'm assuming that the vldb documentclass, which is not part of my TeX distribution, does things the same way as the standard classes.)
