Most optimized way to delete all sessions for a specific user in Django?

Question

I\'m running Django 1.3, using Sessions Middleware and Auth Middleware:

# settings.py

SESSION_ENGINE = django.contrib.sessions.backends.db   # Persist sessions          


        

Answer 1

This is not a direct answer, but it solves your problem and reduces DB hits to zero. With recent versions of Django you can use the cookie based session backend:
