You can turn off session support in your controllers (for the whole application, or for some controllers or even only some actions). That way you will not get the default session cookie.

Just a quickie, you *can* have foreign keys in later version of MySQL if you use the InnoDB engine.

CREATE TABLE users (

login varchar(80) default null,
primary key (id),
index login_index (login)

create table projects (
id int(11) not null auto_increment,
name varchar(128) not null,
owner_id int(11) not null,
primary key(id),
constraint fk_project_owners foreign key (owner_id) references users(id)
) type=InnoDB;
