Explain how to send email from database
SQL Server has a feature for sending mail. Stored procedures can also be used for sending mail on demand. With SQL Server 2005, MAPI client is not needed for sending mails.
The following is the process for sending emails from database.
- Make sure that the SQL Server Mail account is configured correctly and enable Database Mail.
- Write a script to send an e-mail. The following is the script.
USE [YourDB]
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@recipients = 'mathew@xyz.com; saadhya@xyz.com;anirudh@pqr.com’
@body = ' A warm wish for your future endeavor',
@subject = 'This mail was sent using Database Mail' ;
GO
