RE: select count(case ...) slow in PL/SQL, any better way?

Seems to be different queries to me:

select count(case ... ) into count1,

       count(case ... ) into count2
from isi.nametag

suggests a full scan on isi.nametag whereas the two separate queries:

select count(*) from isi.nametag where geneid=geneid1 select count(*) from isi.nametag where geneid=geneid2

have the benefit of a predicate. You could always try

select count(case ... ) into count1,

       count(case ... ) into count2
from isi.nametag
where geneid in (geneid1,geneid2)
