Thanks for this! I have added indicies with ALTER TABLE.
And using EXPLAIN and ANALYZE TABLE I found out that in fact I am
creating a huge Cartesian product joining fields of two tables which
are not indexed!
No wonder it took ages to get this query done, I used up 99% of CPU.
Definitely it can and it should be optimized.
Thanks for your tips again.
Cheers,
Olga
