Changes to [Database_Description#Table:_wp_categories]]

User:Deko said:

Correction made 2/24/07 to http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description

The category_parent field in the categories table (shown under Table Details for the Categories table) was shown to be a FK to the cat_ID field in the same table.

I also see other _parent fields in other tables listed as FK to the same table... why?

Is there a better way to show that relationship in wp_categories?

What relationship? Even if we were using a RDBMS that supported such relationships, what purpose would an intra-table relatoinship serve? Deko 20:31, 25 Feb 2007 (UTC)
