Dear all

I want to rename my sessions table to xxx\_sessions in database. What  
should I do in my rails project so that it will point to the new table  
name (i.e. xxx\_sessions)

Thank you very much

Valentino

Dear all

Problem solve by including the following entries to  
config/environments/\*.rb

CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.set\_table\_name “xxx\_sessions”

Thank you.

Mate,

well, can we add anothers attributes in the sessions table and make  
updates  
as the application requests ?
