For reference, I attached README for pgsql session save handler.
It's NOT in 4.2.0-dev, yet.

README.MOD_PGSQL
mod_pgsql is a session save handler module. It provides session strage
with PostgreSQL database. This module is written by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please report problems to http://bugs.php.net/ or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Session Table Definition
CREATE TABLE php_sessoin (
sess_id char(32) PRIMARY KEY CHECK strlen(sess_id) = 32,
sess_name char(32) NOT NULL,
sess_created integer, -- UNIX time
sess_modified integer, -- UNIX time
sess_data text, -- Max 1GB for 7.1, about 8KB for 7.0 or lower.
sess_reserved1 integer,
sess_reserved2 integer,
sess_reserved3 integer,
sess_reserved4 integer
);
User may *append* additional fields, sess_reserved* fields are place
holder for additional feture. Since mod_pgsql accesses field using
field index, user must use this field order.
How to use
To compile PHP with mod_pgsql, you need "--with-session-pgsql[=DIR]"
when you configure PHP. [=DIR] is installation path for
PostgreSQL. You don't have to compile PHP with PostgreSQL module, but
your system must have libpq and headers installed.
Following php.ini directives has special meanings for mod_pgsql
session.save_handler : "pgsql" for mod_pgsql session.
session.save_path : Valid PostgreSQL database connection string.
How it works
It uses libpq which is written in C. It also uses aync query for
garbage collection. Therefore, user will not experience deley even if
barbage collection is performed. This module is much more efficient
than user handlers written in PHP.
How to customize
Since mod_pgsql uses PostgreSQL database. User can add more fields to
session database and create session access functions as user
want. Keep in mind that user is not supposed to order of standard
fields. User fields are must be defined after mod_pgsql fields.
