Should I store Sessions in database?
An easy way to make sure that sessions continue to work properly is to store sessions in a central database that is common to all servers. The application needs to be able to run on a shared host, where there are significant security concerns associated with storing session data in the filesystem.
What kind of data is stored in session?
A session stores the variables and their values within a file in a temporary directory on the server. Cookies are stored on the user's computer as a text file. The session ends when the user logout from the application or closes his web browser. Cookies end on the lifetime set by the user.
Are Sessions stored in memory?
Session store is a method of storing information about user as a session with unique identifier. It could be stored in memory or in database.
