Yes, I think so :-(

But what is the content of the files that are created when I generate a key=
=20
pair with GPG?=20

What I want to do is simply store the key (in my case in a database, but it=
=20
must be the same when storing it in file) and at a later time I want to=20
reload the data from the database and rebuild the key from it so that it ca=
n=20
be used for decrypting a piece of encrypted data.

I'm sure there must be a way to manage this :-)

Best regards,
Ralf.
