* RECOMMENDATIONS
** Key database daemon
Since version 2.3.0 it is possible to store the keys in an SQLite
database instead of the keyring.kbx file. This is in particular
useful for large keyrings or if many instances of gpg and gpgsm may
run concurrently. This is implemented using another daemon process,
the "keyboxd". To enable the use of the keyboxd put the option
"use-keyboxd" into the configuration file ~/.gnupg/common.conf or the
global /etc/gnupg/common.conf. See also doc/examples/common.conf.
Only public keys and X.509 certificates are managed by the keyboxd;
private keys are still stored as separate files.
Note that there is no automatic migration; if the use-keyboxd option
is enabled keys are not taken from pubring.kbx. To migrate existing
keys to the keyboxd do this:
1. Disable the keyboxd (remove use-keyboxd from common.conf)
2. Export all public keys
gpg --export --export-options backup > allkeys.gpg
gpgsm --export --armor > allcerts.gpg
3. Enable the keyboxd (add use-keyboxd to common.conf)
4. Import all public keys
gpg --import --import-options restore < allkeys.gpg
gpgsm --import < allcerts.crt
