Here is an example of what this column -might look like for MySQL:: - - user_data text NOT NULL - -To add this column you will run a query similar to this:: - - ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL - -You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality in -the :doc:`Session class <../libraries/sessions>` page. - -Step 3: Update your Validation Syntax -===================================== - -This is an **optional**, but recommended step, for people currently -using the Validation class. CI 1.7 introduces a new :doc:`Form Validation -class <../libraries/form_validation>`, which deprecates the old -Validation library. We have left the old one in place so that existing -applications that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to -migrate to the new version as soon as possible.
