Strucures are stored in memory so it seems odd that they persist over a
reboot unless you check for their existence and create them if they don't
exist. Otherwise you need to run a script to load them upon reboot.
However client variables(CFID and CFTOKEN) are stored in a structure and the
default storage area is the system registry. You may choose to store them in
a database by changing the settings in the CF admiin. Therefore client
variables are persistent over a reboot.
Session variables are stored in memory in a structure but are destroyed upon
reboot or upon the user closing the browser.
All of the objects in a structure cannot be stored in a database as is.
(Neither can an array) You may use WDDX to serialize them into a packet and
store that in a database field because the result is a string. You may do
the same with an array. To rebuild the structure, pull the packet out of the
database and then serialize it into the structure. This is a good way to
build a clusterable application that uses client variables or other
structures for setting user preferences.

Subject: Re: Structures: Where is data kept
I believe you have the option of storing session variables in the registry
(not sure where) or in a specific datasource.
