mysql.help_category Table

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. Prior to MariaDB 10.4 it used the MyISAM engine.

The mysql.help_category table contains the following fields:

FieldTypeNullKeyDefaultDescription
