Re: How to optimize SELECT query with multiple CASE statements?

Good afternoon,

is it please posible to optimize the following SQL query with numerous CASE statements (on same condition!) without switching to PL/pgSQL?

    SELECT
        g.gid,
        EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM g.created)::int,
        EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM g.finished)::int,
        g.letters,
        g.values,
        g.bid,
        m.tiles,
        m.score,
        /* HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE FOLLOWING CASE STATEMENTS? */
        CASE WHEN g.player1 = in_uid THEN g.player1 ELSE g.player2 END,
        CASE WHEN g.player1 = in_uid THEN g.player2 ELSE g.player1 END,
        EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM CASE WHEN g.player1 = in_uid THEN g.played1 ELSE g.played2 END)::int,
        EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM CASE WHEN g.player1 = in_uid THEN g.played2 ELSE g.played1 END)::int,
