CDbHttpSession

Package system.web
Inheritance class CDbHttpSession » CHttpSession » CApplicationComponent » CComponent
Implements Countable, ArrayAccess, Traversable, IteratorAggregate, IApplicationComponent
Since 1.0
Source Code framework/web/CDbHttpSession.php
CDbHttpSession extends CHttpSession by using database as session data storage.

CDbHttpSession stores session data in a DB table named 'YiiSession'. The table name can be changed by setting sessionTableName. If the table does not exist, it will be automatically created if autoCreateSessionTable is set true.

The following is the table structure: 

CREATE TABLE YiiSession
(
    id CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY,
    expire INTEGER,
    data BLOB
)
Where 'BLOB' refers to the BLOB-type of your preffered database.

Note that if your session IDs are more than 32 characters (can be changed via session.hash_bits_per_character or session.hash_function) you should modify SQL schema accordingly.

CDbHttpSession relies on PDO to access database.

By default, it will use an SQLite3 database named 'session-YiiVersion.db' under the application runtime directory. You can also specify connectionID so that it makes use of a DB application component to access database.

When using CDbHttpSession in a production server, we recommend you pre-create the session DB table and set autoCreateSessionTable to be false. This will greatly improve the performance. You may also create a DB index for the 'expire' column in the session table to further improve the performance.
