Subselects are already available in MySQL version 4.1, which is still in alpha, though.
In this particular case, the subselect could be replaced by a join.
Assuming that (from what I see in your example) table1.category is a foreign key for table2.id, then you can rewrite the query as follows
SELECT
table1.*
FROM
table1
INNER JOIN table2 ON (table1.category=table2.id)
WHERE
table1.category = 1
OR table2.parent_id = 1

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
