I'm developing an application where I need to have all sessions that have been inactive for X minutes (in this case, I'm thinking 10 minutes, but I'm flexible to a point) automatically purged from the database (using ActiveRecord session store).
What I've done is created a simple rake task that just looks at the updated_at column and deletes anything older than 10 minutes. I plan to have a cron task run this job every 10 minutes. In theory, this should keep inactive sessions to a minimum and clean up my database sessions at the same time automatically, keeping the number in the table at any given time fairly low. However, I'm concerned that running a rake task every 10 minutes could have some performance issues. Does anybody have any feedback on this? Is this generally considered "OK" or is there a better way (that also can purge old sessions automatically)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
