the name of the table in the database that stores categories is called:
terms
here is the insert statement:
$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $wpdb->terms (name, slug, term_group) VALUES ('$cat_name', '$cat_slug', '0')");
(line 66 on my computer)
I found this insert statement in a file in the includes folder called upgrade.php. There is a file in this folder called category.php, but the functions there all prepare the data to display it in the blog

strange thing. But i commented this line. And new category insertion still works through admin panel :\
hhhmm, the same query is on line 569 and 642. these two are the same query but get called depending on the version of the database you are using. I don't know what you are using, so comment out both of them.
