If you aren't actually using client variables, I suggest changing your default to cookie (unless of course you are using a lot of cookie values directly).
Additionally, if you do go with the database storage solution, I would be aware that if you have a single database for all of your apps for client storage you are creating a potential shared single point of failure for all of your apps. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 11:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Registry growing If you have a lot of just-looking visitors, then thats normal. The client I had a problem with was getting much of his traffic from bots, who seemed to generate a new cfid and cftoken on every page visit. Maybe you have a similar situation. I wouldn't bother moving the data into a db. I'd just set cvars to expire (in the cf administrator. I think its in the Variables section) after some short period (2 days?) and zap 'em that way, unless you are using client variables and want to preserve the values. Then set up a db repository and just point CF to it. CF will take care of the old vars still in the registry all by itself. And if you don't use cvars, don't set CF to keep them for the default of 90 days or your database will balloon in size just as the registry did. Chances are you can leave the above 2-day setting in place forever. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
