    Default Strange files in cache

    Hi,
    after having found that a stupid error in one file name generated 157.983 debug files , I cleaned up the cache folder but I see two files coming up as soon as some one opens the site.
    The files names are:

    zc_e3ccabb1ffa483d9bec7bb583281464d.sql
    and
    zc_cc21d2f64edffccfe06d12dd3327bf64.sql

    I do not want to copy the content of the files here because whatching at it, I noticed that it is basically the content of the db I am using.
    It is not a big problem because the two files remains there, and do not "gremlins" like the debug files, but:
    what are they?
    why are they there?
    is it possible/feasible to get rid of them?
    Grazie
    ciao from Italy

    Those are session files used by zen cart. So there is nothing to worry about, and you can leave them in place. When a customer leaves your site the sql file will be removed automatically after some time.

    They're actually SQL Cache files, not session files.
    But indeed they should clean themselves up after a period of time.
    That said, if they're more than a day old, you can delete those zc_*.sql files yourself.

    Thanks everyone for the aswers. Actually I noticed that they do not "gremlin". They are cleaned regularly and only two files are always present in the cache.
    So far so good....
