Actually I am trying to retrieve values in a single step.

My queries need to be something like,

select count(*) from tbl1 where state='Normal';select count(*) from tbl1 where 
state='Critical'

I got to have these two as seperate, because if there's any critical need to 
display a diff icon, and also the sum of those results. So wondering how can I 
avoid two table scans, and instead try to retrieve them in a single statement.

Just how is that supposed to work?

Are you looking for the UNION operator, perchance?
