Session table

[Day_]

Currently getting 500 server errors keep popping up, not internal server errors but the ones where you get a bunch of code under it (support ticket open), in the code below it mentioned core_sessions, I took a look in the database and I have over 34,000 pages of session data, I'm guessing this is pretty big? the table size is bigger than the forum post table of almost 1 million posts.

I've changed the php.ini settings to the defaults in this knowledge base article now.....

Question is, will my table automatically clear the data now or do I need to go in and empty it manually?

Side question whilst I wait for a support response to the ticket, could this be linked to the 500 server error I'm getting?

You can just clear / empty the sessions table. People might have to log in again, no biggie. I used to have it in memory on v3  

For reference, my core_sessions table currently has 1000 rows.
