Do you mean this query ?

SELECT
products_options_groups.pk_prdoptgrp_id,products_options_groups.prdoptgr
p_name
FROM products_options_groups
WHERE EXISTS
(
    SELECT *
    FROM products_options_classification
    INNER JOIN products_options ON products_options.pk_prdopt_id =
products_options_classification.fk_prdopt_id
    WHERE products_options_classification =
products_options_groups.pk_prdoptgrp_id
    AND products_options.fk_prd_id = [A PRODUCT ID WRITTEN HERE BY
MY APP]
)
ORDER BY products_options_groups.prdoptgrp_name;


An other question, do you think that my tables are OK or is there some
things I could change in order to have as much performance as possible
(without de-normalize it because I want to avoid redundancy in my
tables).

Thanks very much for your tips ! :-)
