Hello!

Why session_id field is varchar(40)?

Each session_id has a length of 32 characters.

Should I change this field to char(32)?

Why ip_address field is varchar(16)?

An ip_address like 192.155.135.125 has a length of 15 characters.

I hope someone can answer me at this questions. Thank you!

These small changes will help me sleep better at night .

No do not change it! If you look at the session library code you will see that they are adding on the users IP Address for security reasons...

A good place to learn is open up and start reading the CodeIgniter Libraries.

Thank you for your answer!

When a new session is created the session_id field will have a length of 32 characters not 40.

(Look at the line 316 inside the session library on CI 2).
