Hi all:

I'm in the design stage of creating a client-account management 
system. We provide an array of support services to nonprofits, and I 
wish to develop a system that is more than just a basic service 
request system. I've been reading up on sessions management, as well 
as cookies. I've also been combing through a number of similar 
systems (either service request systems, or accounts management 
systems).

My question is this: is there a specific reason to use a tracking 
table in conjunction with session ids, other than knowing how often a 
user logs in?

I ask, because a few of the systems I've examined have tracking 
tables. But they all seem very brief just basically a trackid, 
sessionid, userid, datetime, with one or two other fields.

I don't need to keep track of what each user is doing per say, but 
I'm wondering if there have been other innovative uses of tracking 
user sessions, that maybe I should consider. What types of things 
would you use tracking for? and why?

Any comments would be appreciated.
