I'm new to ASP. If I store information in these handy "session
variables" am I going to run into many limitations that I wouldn't have
it I added a database record for each session instead? For example, if
I use session variables, can I have an admin utility that lets me see a
list and/or count of all open sessions? Or would I be able to keep the
same user from starting multiple sessions if I wanted (by comparing the
log-in name which my web-site requires)? I know if I create a record
for each open session that I can do all kinds of fun stuff like reports
and queries, but not sure if I'll have all of those options with these
built in ASP session variables (which I imagine ASP stores in memory or
some non-standard format).
p.s.-I'm using ASP (not ASP.NET) with VBScript (I hate VB syntax but
that is what everyone seems to use).

You need a database. Look at:

Not everyone. A few people on this list use jscript exclusively. Nothing
says you have to use vbscript.

Hi,
I want to do things this way:
I have a bunch of stuff that I want to keep track of while a user is
connected to the site. Maybe 50 little peices of information.
So I know I can make 50 session variables , or an store an array in a
session variable, but what I wanna do is store it all in a class
so I can use property get and property let.

All,
I'm new to ASP development and I have a basic design question:
Is it ok to store business objects to session variables or is there a better
way to keep object information?
For example, if a user logs onto the website, a user object is created that
stores their full name, email address, street address, phone, etc. This
object also has methods to do 'other' things such as validations, counters,

Can somebody tell me how many Session variables would be considered
exessive, and when they start really affect the server speed.
For example on 20-30 asp pages I need to use about 200-300 session variables

Let say having 300 users using those pages at the same time.
Server is not the fastest one, just CPU 2.40GHz.
So question is as a user am I going to feel a difference in speed...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
