Hi Krzysztof,

Please cc all replies to the mailing list, that way others can 
contribute answers. I don't have experience of dealing with contig 
records so I'm not sure how best to deal with them in BioPerl/BioSQL. 
 From a quick search it looks like representation of this type of data 
is still on the BioSQL to do list:
