Hi,
This is my first post, please let me know if this is not the correct
place to discuss this.
My site is using MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession to manage our
sessions (stored in a MySQL back end). We store an object representing
a user into the session and recently the User object has grown larger
than the column can handle. We tried the obvious of increasing the
column from a text to a large text but had performance issues with
that (I was given this information second hand and don't have any more
information about this at this time). Even if there were not
performance issues I think at the rate the developers are expanding
the user object we would just be prolonging the inevitable.
My questions are:
is has anyone run into this before (session being too large for
the
storage medium) and what have they (or you) done to resolve it?
Is it a bad practice to store objects in the session object?
We've considered some options and I am leaning towards implementing
Storable hooks to clean up pieces of the objects to reduce their size.
Any other suggestions, comments or links to read are welcome. Thanks
in advance for any help you are able to provide.
-John
