It just works for me. I've not done any comparisons, but since the
database is running on a second machine, it moves the load from web
server to data server. So I suppose it depends on where the bottlenecks
are happening as to if it is worthwhile. I just use a flag to switch it
on and off, so potentially I can use either way.

CREATE TABLE sessions (
sesskey CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
expiry INT NOT NULL,
expireref VARCHAR(64) DEFAULT '',
data BLOB SUB_TYPE TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (sesskey),
);

CREATE INDEX ix_expiry ON sessions (expiry);

I only use PHP5 so I can't comment on any differences to PHP4, except to
say that a lot of the Firebird PHP driver has been updated in PHP5, and
I don't think those changes have been back ported to PHP4.

Here is hoping that Firebird gets a greater acceptance during 2005 ;)
