I don't know if it will improve performance but since you know that in a =
certain number of cases you will get a SQL%NOTFOUND why not use IF/THEN =
to deal with it instead of throwing an exception?
select title, volume, pages, year, journalid
into ttl, vol, pg, yr, jid from ref where id=3Drn;
begin
select abbrev into jname from journal2abbrev
where id=3Djid and medline=3D'Y';
IF SQL%NOTFOUND THEN
select name into jname from journal where id=3Djid;
END IF;
end;
