Django: session database table cleanup

问题:

Does this table need to be purged or is it taken care automatically by Django?

回答1:

Django does NOT provide automatic purging. There is however a handy command available to help you do it manually: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/sessions/#clearing-the-session-store

python manage.py clearsessions

回答2:

1. Django 1.6 or Above

   python manage.py clearsessions

2. Django 1.5 or lower

   python manage.py cleanup

3. From Django Shell

   from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session

   Session.objects.all().delete()

4. django-session-cleanup cornJob

On my development server, I prefer a database command over python manage.py clearsessions because you delete all sessions, not just the expired ones (here: mysql). So login into your database and do:

truncate table django_session;

BTW, session is not a database, but a table (django_session) and an app (django.contrib.sessions).
