      Hi,

       

      I wrote below code to extract data from xml data file.

       

      select   ata, mpditemnbr

          from  

              temp_tab , 

              xmltable( 

                  '/mpd/chapter/smits-section'

                  passing xmltype(file_data,1) 

                  columns 

                      FirstRecord xmltype path 'mpd-sys-maints' 

          ),

              xmltable( 

              'mpd-sys-maints' 

              passing FirstRecord 

              columns 

                      ata varchar2(100) path 'ata-header',

                      Record xmltype path 'mpd-sys-maint'),  

          xmltable( 

              'mpd-sys-maint' 

              passing Record 

              columns 

                  RecordTasknbr varchar2(100) path '@tasknbr', 

                  mpditemnbr    varchar2(30) path 'mpd-item-nbr'         

          )

       

      I am getting below error when executed this query:

      ORA-19279: XPTY0004 - XQuery dynamic type mismatch: expected singleton sequence - got multi-item sequence

      19279. 00000 -  "XPTY0004 - XQuery dynamic type mismatch: expected singleton sequence - got multi-item sequence"

      *Cause:    The XQuery sequence passed in had more than one item.

      *Action:   Correct the XQuery expression to return a single item sequence.

       

      Please advise what mistake I am doing in the query.

       

      xml data file is given below:

          FYI, I did remove the reference to dtd in my test case. The input xml content column name is also different.

            Assuming the xml content has a corresponding preceding <ata-header> element for each <mpd-sys-maint> element...
