Well, that is what I was thinking. The other issue that I have as far as using the database storage is image uploads. I plan on allowing a user to upload as many as 10 images per ad, and was wondering how to handle the image upload if they end up not checking out. Should I just run a scheduled task every so often and delete the images off the server based on the info in the tempCart table?
