I am struggeling with the following query which fetches a random subset
of 200 questions that matches certain tags within certain languages.
However, the query takes forever to evaluate, even though I have a
"limit 200" appended. Any ideas on how to optimize it?
QUERY: ================================================
SELECT distinct q.question_id
FROM question_tags qt, questions q
WHERE q.question_id = qt.question_id
AND q.STATUS = 1
AND not q.author_id = 105
AND ((qt.language_id = 5 and qt.tag_id in
(1101,917,734,550,367,183)) or (qt.language_id = 4 and qt.tag_id in
(856,428)) or (qt.language_id =
3 and qt.tag_id in (1156,1028,899,771,642,514,385,257,128)) or
(qt.language_id = 2 and qt.tag_id in
(1193,1101,1009,917,826,734,642,550,458,367,275,183,91)))
and q.question_id not in (413)
LIMIT 200
