Re: two queryes in a single tablescan

I remember when I was using SQL server we did like like that:

SELECT count(CASE WHEN A THEN 1 END) AS cnt_a, count(CASE WHEN B
THEN 1 END) AS cnt_b FROM tab WHERE C;

I did a little test with pg_bench data, also works in PostgreSQL:

test=# select count(*) from history where tid = 1;
  count
-------
    574
(1 行)

时间: 9.553 ms
test=# select count(*) from history where tid = 2;
  count
-------
   1107
(1 行)

时间: 8.949 ms
test=# select count(CASE WHEN tid = 1 then 1 END) as t1_cont,
count(case when tid=2 then 1 end) as t2_cnt from history ;
  t1_cont | t2_cnt
---------+--------
      574 |   1107
(1 行)

时间: 17.182 ms

Hope that helps.
