oh and there in the footnotes to django they say "dont' forget to run
the delete expired sessions management every once in a while".
thanks guys.

Oh Django... :)

it won't run now because its too big, I can delete them from psql though

You might be better off deleting the inverse. You know, start a transaction, select all the sessions that *aren't* expired, truncate the table, insert them back into the session table, and commit.

BEGIN;
CREATE TEMP TABLE foo_1 AS
SELECT * FROM django_session WHERE date_expired < CURRENT_DATE;
TRUNCATE django_session;
INSERT INTO django_session SELECT * from foo_1;
COMMIT;

Except I don't actually know what the expired column is. You can figure that out pretty quick, I assume. That'll also have the benefit of cleaning up the indexes and the table all at once. If you just do a delete, the table won't change at all, except that it'll have less active records.

well just think how sprightly my website will run tomorrow once I fix
these.

Maybe. :)
