LPX-00601: Invalid token in: using logical AND operator in XQuery

Question

Hi Pro's,
I am working on DB version 10.2.0.3, I have loaded this document into XMLType column:
<ROOT>
<COUNTRY>
<NAME>India</NAME>
<PERSON>
<NAME>Harinath</NAME>
<CITY>Bangalore</CITY>
<STATE>Karnataka</STATE>
<IMMI_STATUS>Citizen</IMMI_STATUS>
</PERSON>
<PERSON>
<NAME>Mohan</NAME>
<CITY>Kakinada</CITY>
<STATE>Andhra Pradesh</STATE>
<IMMI_STATUS>Citizen</IMMI_STATUS>
</PERSON>
</COUNTRY>
<COUNTRY>
<NAME>USA</NAME>
<PERSON>
<NAME>Drew P</NAME>
<CITY>Appleton</CITY>
<STATE>WI</STATE>
<IMMI_STATUS>Citizen</IMMI_STATUS>
</PERSON>
<PERSON>
<NAME>Bush</NAME>
<CITY>Washington</CITY>
<STATE>DC</STATE>
<IMMI_STATUS>Citizen</IMMI_STATUS>
</PERSON>
<PERSON>
<NAME>Harinath</NAME>
<CITY>Atlanta</CITY>
<STATE>GA</STATE>
<IMMI_STATUS>Alien</IMMI_STATUS>
</PERSON>
</COUNTRY>
</ROOT>
This query returns one row : (As Expected)
===============================
SELECT extractValue(rec.xmldata, '/ROOT/COUNTRY[PERSON/NAME="Drew P"]/NAME') C_COUNTRY
FROM (SELECT VALUE(xml) xmldata
FROM XXSSI_XML_STG stg
,TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(stg.XMLDATA, '//ROOT'))) xml
WHERE stg.REQUEST_ID = 4204203) rec
This query fails: TRUE as "Harinath" appears twice in the document once in "India" and once in "USA";
======================================================
SELECT extractValue(rec.xmldata, '/ROOT/COUNTRY[PERSON/NAME="Harinath"]/NAME') C_COUNTRY
FROM (SELECT VALUE(xml) xmldata
FROM XXSSI_XML_STG stg
,TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(stg.XMLDATA, '//ROOT'))) xml
WHERE stg.REQUEST_ID = 4204203) rec ;
To fix the error I introduced "LOGICAL AND" in the XPath: THIS FAILS
===================================================
SELECT extractValue(rec.xmldata, '/ROOT/COUNTRY[PERSON/NAME="Harinath" AND IMMI_STATUS="Citizen"]/NAME') C_COUNTRY
FROM (SELECT VALUE(xml) xmldata
FROM XXSSI.XXSSI_XML_STG stg
,TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(stg.XMLDATA, '//ROOT'))) xml
WHERE stg.REQUEST_ID = 4204203) rec ;
Please help!!!!!!

Hi !!!
Im sooo thankful to you... it works!!!
Learnt a lesson today "dont blindly go by those user guides" I was refering to Example 6–8 of "B14259" 10g Developer Guide (Page 282) which has this query
SELECT extract(OBJECT_VALUE, '/PurchaseOrder/Item').getClobval()
FROM mypurchaseorders p
WHERE existsNode(OBJECT_VALUE,
'/PurchaseOrder[PONum=1001 AND Company = "Oracle Corp"]') = 1;
may be a printing error :(
Thanks a lot.
