Your IIS App Using Oracle or SQL Server Session variables can lead to scalability problems once your Web site grows beyond a single server. Instead, move your data to a database.
Experience comes from bad judgment.
I'll elaborate on the evils of that practice, and I'll offer two methods for creating a scalable alternative to the IIS Session object, both using either Oracle or SQL Server as the persistence mechanism. In the end, you should be able to make a better judgment on which is best for you. Any VB developer with little HTML experience can develop complex Web sites that interact with a database quickly and easily. The IIS Session and Application objects make developing your first site particularly easy. But unless you're lucky enough to work with an experienced IIS developer on your first project, you'll probably find yourself struggling through common scalability issues when your site grows and requires more than one Web server.
