Need efficient queries to retrieve reports inside a folder

Question

Case 1:
To retrieve reports in a particular folder -
I am currently using 2 queries -
a) retrieving parentid given a folder name
b) retrieving all reports given the above parent id.
Can I combine these into 1 query ?
Case 2:
I also need to retrieve all reports within a given folder and subfolder. Can this be done with 1 query?
or do I need to retrieve all objects in the folder and then iterate in a loop
if folder exists and retrieve the reports.

Hi Jam
For Case1:  To retrieve Crystal reports in a particular folder, the following query should work.
Select COUNT (SI_ID) From CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_KIND = 'CrystalReport' and SI_PARENT_FOLDER = 22826 and SI_INSTANCE = 0
Hope this helps.
ThanksSoni
