It does not make much sense.  keyrings are internal to gpg and their
internals may change without notice.  Also an SQL DB is far too slow
for gpg's purposes - frankly, the current code to handle keyrings is
too slow.

You may want to stopre some selected information of the keys in your
DB; most notable the fingerprint.
