Manual:Categorylinks table/ja

The categorylinks table stores entries corresponding to links of the form   or  , which when placed anywhere on a page places that page into the category named Title (for which an associated page may or may not exist). Links beginning with a colon, like  Category: Title, are not stored in the categorylinks table, but are handled as normal internal links (in this case leading to the page Category:Title). The editable parts of category pages are stored like other pages.

There are four indexes which help improve performance:
 * The concatenation of cl_from and cl_to (for when an article is edited)
 * The concatenation of cl_to, cl_type, cl_sortkey, and cl_from (for showing articles in order)
 * The concatenation of cl_to and cl_timestamp
 * cl_collation

cl_from
Stores the page.page_id of the article where the link was placed.

cl_to
Stores the name (excluding namespace prefix) of the desired category. Spaces are replaced by underscores (_)

cl_sortkey
Stores the title by which the page should be sorted in a category list. This is the binary sortkey, that depending on $wgCategoryCollation may or may not be readable by a human (but should sort in correct order when comparing as a byte string)

cl_timestamp
Stores the time at which that link was last updated in the table.

cl_sortkey_prefix
This is either the empty string if a page is using the default sortkey (aka the sortkey is unspecified). Otherwise it is the human readable version of cl_sortkey. Needed mostly so that cl_sortkey can be easily updated in certain situations without re-parsing the entire page.

cl_collation
What collation is in use. Used so that if the collation changes, the updateCollation.php script knows what rows need to be fixed in db.

cl_type
What type of page is this (,  (subcategory) or   (normal page)). Used so that the different sections on a category page can be paged independently in an efficient manner.
