Description:
The help contents doesn't appear when you type 'mysql> help contents'.

Nothing found
Please try to run 'help contents' for a list of all accessible topics

How to repeat:
When you connect to the mysql sever with  'mysql -h localhost -u root' and after this you try to see the help contents typing 'help contents' I can read the help.

Suggested fix:
The help contents must appears.

Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of bug:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=15759.

I did a mention of this bug there.

Actually, it's not a duplicate. The missing help tables on Windows have a different cause. Reopening.

Whoops, never mind. Further investigation revealed the real cause - the help tables are missing for all 5.0.18 builds, as they were not properly included in the sources. This has been fixed for 5.0.19.

My version is 5.5.27 and it appears to have the same problem:

I can confirm it as well for 5.5.27 / Win.
