What about client variables stored in a DB? In my application development, I
try to get the database to do as much work as possible. I also try to make
as few calls to the database as I can. I try to make every call count. With
client variables, aren't you hitting a database on every read and every
write of each little variable? What kind of performance issues are there
compared to session variables, which only use memory? I know Nat has an
opinion...

Can someone expand a bit on how and in what template client vars are
set and called. Say for managing a var IsLoggedIn. I'm having a hard
time understanding the resource issue. It seems wrong to query the
database on every page (app_globals) to make sure they are still
logged in. Thanks
PS This list has been a tremendous learning tool -- We've been able to
get our apps following the fusebox methodology except for the whole
state managment issue - still been using cookies for that.
