Session variables don't get stored within the DB, but purely with the
session global variable.
You can set options in your Controllers, e.g.:
session.flash=T('Not Authorised!')
These then get interpreted in your views, e.g.:
{{if session.s3.debug:}}
I extend the session to read options from the database by having this
in my model:
def shn_sessions(f):
" Extend session to support extra variables "
session.s3.debug=db().select(db.s3_setting.debug)[0].debug
return f()
response._caller=lambda f: shn_sessions(f)
Hope this helps :)
