I do want them to be visible to everybody. This is a sessions pool,
where sessions are inserted when our app connects and removed when it
disconnects, however this would only work for graceful disconnects,
which we all know isn't always the case. So I want a table that is
somehow notified of a session disconnect and deletes rows created by
that session.

Any ideas?
