   I am looking for the query to just list the subcategories (or children) of wp_terms.term_id = 41

   I need to format these is a very odd structure.

   Can anyone help?

   Why not use the WordPress API?

   $descendants = get_categories(array('child_of' => 41));

   $children = get_categories(array('parent' => 41));

   Note that $children will contain just the immediate child categories, but $descendants will include all descendant categories, including grand-children, great-grandchildren, etc.

   That sounds great, thanks. But how do I echo that list?

   $children = get_categories(array('parent' => 41));
   foreach ($children as $child) {
   echo $child->cat_name;
   }

   doesn't do anything...what am i missing?

   That should work. Try var_dump($children); to see if anything's being returned.
