Kohana - Session Database - php

Question

I'm attempting to use the session database with Kohana 3.
I have setup the mysql database as described here: http://kerkness.ca/wiki/doku.php?id=sessions_and_cookies
I am setting session variables like so:
Session::instance('database')->set('uid', $user_id);
However when I go to fetch the data back later on a different page or refresh it returns NULL.
Session::instance('database')->get('uid', NULL);
But if I put them right next to each other it works fine... i.e.
Session::instance('database')->set('uid', $user_id);
Session::instance('database')->get('uid', NULL);
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I have also setup session.php in my config folder which looks like this:
<?php
return array(
'cookie' => array(
'name' => 'cookie',
'encrypted' => TRUE,
'lifetime' => 43200,
),
'native' => array(
'name' => 'session',
'encrypted' => TRUE,
'lifetime' => 43200,
),
'database' => array(
'group' => 'default',
'table' => 'sessions',
),
);
?>
Cheers,
Thomas.

Update the session.php file to look like this:
<?php
return array(
'cookie' => array(
'name' => 'session_cookie',
'encrypted' => TRUE,
'lifetime' => 43200,
),
'native' => array(
'name' => 'session_native',
'encrypted' => TRUE,
'lifetime' => 43200,
),
'database' => array(
'name' => 'session_database',
'group' => 'default',
'table' => 'sessions',
),
);
?>
Problem was by default the sessions are called 'session'.
So I renamed each adapter and it has fixed the issue.
