Why we need to store session in database codeigniter 3.0?

I have read the codeigniter document about session. but i still don't understand why they implement accessing session in database?

Session Library

Any comments would be appreciated :)

On codeigniter 3 you do not need to store sessions in database you can do it with out or use files

config.php starting from line 358

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 1440;
$config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH . 'application/somefolder';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

There is no big deal with it. It means there is no any Security Reason for it

Main purpose of this is store user logins, and managing those.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ci_sessions` (
        `id` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
        `ip_address` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
        `timestamp` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
        `data` blob NOT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY (id),
        KEY `ci_sessions_timestamp` (`timestamp`)
);

Ex :timestamp will gather the user logging time. So you can get detail about how many time user log in to site
