StoredID/persistentID only when used?

[Simon Lundström]

Hi!

I found this <http://marc.info/?l=shibboleth-users&m=133243900920455&w=2>
mail and the answer was no then but I'll ask again to see if it's
changed.

Is it possible to make {stored,persistent}ID only to be generated, stored and
queried for in the DB when it's configured to be used with the SP that the
user is trying to login to?

Right now we have hundreds of thousands of entries in a MySQL DB which
will never be used.

As a side note, is it known that you get an NullPointerException when
the MySQL is too busy to answer (and I guess it closes the connection?):
