I need to check if a specific user already exists on the SQL Server, and if it doesn't, then I need to add it. I have found the following code to actually add the user to the database, but I want to wrap this in an IF statement (somehow) to check if the user exists first.

In my Django site, I am planning on using message_set combined with some fancy UI to warn the user of things like "your operation was completed successfully" or "you have three new messages".

Clearly I could spoof that and the website would think I was a valid user. If the username is stored in the cookie I could masquerade as any user...
When you log out of a web app, should ALL your session be logged out? When I log out of the web app from the public library, should it also log me out of the session I have on my home computer?

This question has problably been asked before, but it seems like I can't phrase my search correctly enough to find the answer.

What I want is to s...
