We're looking at about 86,000 hits per day on the reporting server, which is
where I need to collect this information. I'm trying to figure out if there
is a way I can track a single user through each visit to the site and record
the entire session to one record in the table. Example, the user with token
XYZ requested a.cfm, b.cfm?var=keyword, c.cfm?var=keyword&var2=5, on
6/25/2000 at 8:56 AM and spent 15 minutes total on the site. This would be
preferable to recording single page hits and I do need to record any
variables that are passed to individual pages.
