xoops session table is huge

My XOOPS session table is currently 45 Megabytes and has 435,000 entries!

Is this normal?

Can I get rid of some of these sessions? I seem to have multiple sessions per IP address. If yes - then what is the best way to do it? Empty the table with phpmyadmin? I tried optimizing but that didn't reduce the size.

I am using 2.0.10 and have upgraded from 2.0.7 sequentially.

No that is not normal. Do you use a custom session?, they can be manually deleted with no problem

Yes, I use a custom session to set the timeout to 2 hours instead of 15 minutes.

I now have the 2.0.10 autologin hack installed so I may not need the custom session. Thoughts?

I'll try emptying the table on a test site!

You do not need custom sessions with autologon. PHPmyadmin will work fine to empty the table

Presumably emptying the table is dangerous if people are logged in and adding forum posts or comments... when I empty the table they will be logged out?

There should probably be a mechanism in XOOPS core / db admin module to remove expired or old sessions...

Is there even a module that optimizes the tables? Is table optimization really that necessary? Too many questions = too little time!

I usually check mine every couple of days and optimize through phpmyadmin. the only danger (as I understand it) in emptying the table while users are logged in is that they may need to relogin. Since you have autologin, that will happen automagically with no user intervention.

Hmm... my session table currently has 900.000 records. I don't understand why it should be so hard to delete these old session-records automaticly...

Can anyone explain?? Or do I miss something.
