I'm working on an OpenLayers application that requires the user to 
create a polygon that is used in a separate server-side calculation so I 
have to turn it into a shape file first. For any one user, I can just 
create a new PostGIS table and simply call it "RegionOfInterest" and 
then run the CGI script to perform the calculation and add the new 
features to the user's map.

But this method falls apart as soon as there is another user online 
using the same application. The second user's polygon overwrites the 
first user's, so I need to keep each user's data separate. So my 
question is what's the best way to keep each user's activity separate 
for operations that aren't totally contained within their browser sessions?

Do you use session id's for this and create separate databases based on 
session id or is there a better way?
