How to sent email by using Sql Server

Sql Mail System provides an easy way to sent and receive emails using microsoft sql server. But you should have to install a MAPI susystem in the server which is comming automatically when you install windows NT. If you are using windows 2000 you should have to install an mapi client like microsoft outlook


There are other methods to send emails by using Microsoft sql server. You can configure CDONT(Collaboration Data Objects for NT Server),CDOSYS(Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000 ) to send emails directly from sql server. CDOSYS is available from windows 2000 and CDONTS is not supported by windows server 2003 and later Operating systems.


Confugure CDO for sending email using Microsoft Sql Server
CDONTS is a mail transfer protocol. CDONTS sends mail through SMTP. If you do not have SMTP you can use the SMTP.To use CDONTS to send email from sql server do the following steps.


1. Install iis in your coputer which running sql server.


2. Specify SMTP mail server as your "smart-host".


3. Create a stored procedure which can send mail.


When using CDONTS you need not have to use outlook in your server. To confugure smart host follow the steps below


1. start->programs->administrative tools->internet service manager 


2. It will open the IIS manager a tree. Right click on the Default SMTP Virtual Server. Select properties.


3. Locate delivery tab->Advanced


4. Type SMTP mail server name in smart host textbox.


5. Make sure SMTP service is running.


Sample Stored Procedure which is sending CDONTS mail


CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_send_cdontsmail] 
@From varchar(100),
@To varchar(100),
@Subject varchar(100),
@Body varchar(4000),
@CC varchar(100) = null,
@BCC varchar(100) = null
AS
Declare @MailID int
Declare @hr int
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'CDONTS.NewMail', @MailID OUT
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @MailID, 'From',@From
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @MailID, 'Body', @Body
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @MailID, 'BCC',@BCC
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @MailID, 'CC', @CC
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @MailID, 'Subject', @Subject
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @MailID, 'To', @To
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @MailID, 'Send', NULL
EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @MailID


Send Email using CDOSYS


CDOSYS provides enhancement on CDONTS mail. CDOSYS can configure programmatically so it is flexible. 


Sample Stored procedure sending CDOSYS Mail


IF (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE name = N'cdosysmail_failures' AND type='U')) DROP TABLE [dbo].[cdosysmail_failures]

IF (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE name = N'sp_send_cdosysmail' AND type='P')) DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_send_cdosysmail]
