Entity 'tce_sessions'

General info

Entity type: independent

Attributes

Key Attribute/role name Data type Not null Unique Notes
PK cpsession_id Varchar(n) (32) YES NO Session IDs are identification tokens for users, and servers can use them to maintain session data (e.g., variables) for creating a session-like experience to the users.

cpsession_data Text YES NO In PHP this information may be encoded/decoded using the session_encode/session_decode functions.

Relationships

Relationship name Type Parent entity Child entity Card.
session_data Informative tce_users tce_sessions 1:N

Notes

The basic idea behind web session management is that the server generates a session identifier (ID) at some early point in user interaction, sends this ID to the user's browser and makes sure that this same ID will be sent back by the browser along with each subsequent request. Session IDs thereby become identification tokens for users, and servers can use them to maintain session data (e.g., variables) for creating a session-like experience to the users.
