I need to manually add records to django_session table. With my own SQL.
Can I leave session_data column empty? What purpose does it serve?
session_datacontains the actual data for the session. With Django sessions, the cookie that tracks the session actually just contains an ID, which points to a record in the database that contains the actual session data.session_datashould not be blank; you can store a blank string, but it should be serialized the same way the Django database backend does it. Unfortunately, this involves pickling the data (with Python’spicklemodule) and then converting that into a base-64 representation, so it may be non-trivial to do this outside of Python.Why must you use your own SQL? Why not write a script (preferably a management command) that taps into Django’s sessions framework to create your objects?
