mysql.help_category Table

The mysql.help_category table stores category information for the server-side help system, organizing help topics into a hierarchy.

mysql.help_category is one of the four tables used by the HELP command. It is populated when the server is installed by the fill_help_tables.sql script. The other help tables are help_relation, help_topic and help_keyword.

This table uses the Aria storage engine.

The mysql.help_category table contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Null	Key	Default	Description
help_category_id	smallint(5) unsigned	NO	PRI	NULL
name	char(64)	NO	UNI	NULL
parent_category_id	smallint(5) unsigned	YES		NULL
url	char(128)	NO		NULL
