Sounds like you want to maintain these counts  as you insert records.
A kind of manual indexing, to save on otherwise costly queries.

Encapsulate this maintenance in wrapper functions for adding, removing
and modifying your records and use these in all your mnesia
transactions.

Of course, this doesn't work if your conditions are not manageably finite.
