session.cookie_expires=true
session.key=WhatEver
session.url=mysql://user:password@host/database
session.timeout=3000

Beaker will create the table itself if it hasn't been created already when it's first invoked.

You can see the code (and the columns it'll create) in the ext/database.py source file

cache = sa.Table(table_name, meta,
                 sa.Column('id', types.Integer, primary_key=True),
                 sa.Column('namespace', types.String(255), nullable=False),
                 sa.Column('accessed', types.DateTime, nullable=False),
                 sa.Column('created', types.DateTime, nullable=False),
                 sa.Column('data', types.PickleType, nullable=False),
                 sa.UniqueConstraint('namespace'),
                 schema=schema_name if schema_name else meta.schema
        ):
