Description

Failed logins to Exasol may inadvertently create a phantom entry in the EXA_*_SESSIONS tables. Since the logins actually failed, such sessions were never used, but still remain in the tables.

Workaround

Restart the database to remove the phantom entries

Fix

Sessions that fail to log in are not listed in EXA_*_SESSIONS
