ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node

This error occurs when you try to extract scalar values from an XML fragment containing multiple nodes.
In order to simulate error, try executing the following query in a schema where you have at least two tables:

SELECT extractvalue(
     xmltype.createXML(
      dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select * from user_tables'))
     ,'/ROWSET/ROW/TABLE_NAME')
FROM dual;

ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node

Indeed if you add a small XPath condition to the query above, you can get a valid result:

SELECT extractvalue(
     xmltype.createXML(
      dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select * from user_tables'))
     ,'/ROWSET/ROW[1]/TABLE_NAME')
FROM dual;

This query will extract the table name of the first TABLE_NAME node.

If you are trying to extract all table names from this XML file, then you must rewrite the query as i showed in a previous topic.
