wikipedia page to category mapping database

Question

I was looking for a database which can help me in getting a list of all the categories a page belongs to, or all the pages present in a category. It is not there is the page enwiki-latest-page.sql databse and I am trying to avoid using the 42 GB xml dump. Is there some database available online which can help me in this regard?

Answer 1

The page dump contains information from the page table. The information you're looking for is in the categorylinks table, so you will also need the categorylinks dump.
