ORA-01422: Exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows

What it means

A SELECT ... INTO returned more than one row (TOO_MANY_ROWS).

How to fix it

Make the WHERE clause unique (use the key), aggregate, add FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY / ROWNUM = 1 if any row is acceptable, or use BULK COLLECT into a collection.
