If your connecting to a database put all your data in the DB full
stop, there is not benefit in storing data in 2 places (unless you
consider unnecessary complexity a benefit)

Hi Folk
Are there any arguments for or against the use of session for saving
cart information before committing it to a database (usually at the
moment of sale confirmation)?
For:
* less database clutter
* faster?
Against:
* more code
* less information on potential sales is retained in database
Other things to consider are:
* can save some stuff, but not all
* security / privacy matters
* database maintenance / clean up procedures
* length of session
* ??????
I am welcoming any comments, for and against, just curious to know if
there are any "best practices" in this area.
