Storing large sessions?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm finishing my first project with CI, and one problem I've hit towards the end is the amount of session/state data I'm trying to store is hitting the 4k cookie limit.

I've tried adding the ci_session table and changing the fields in the config file to say I want to use the DB, but it just stored the session details, not the session data.

If this isn't possible, does anyone have any suggestions for keeping a larger amount of session data hot?

Thanks,

Remy Sharp.
