the relevant book session is http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13#Sessions-in-database
file sessions of db won't "save you". You are in the need of having to know the relationship between session and user_id. Every app has different requirements, so you could implement the logic to store somewhere the relationship and not having to scan them all. Web2py doesn't expose that relationship because: a) sessions are created also for not registered users b) one registered user can have multiple sessions (one in chrome, the other in firefox), even in multiple devices (desktop, nettop, tablet, cell phone, etc) and they are considered (rightfully) valid.
