[dba-SQLServer]Auto email users from SS7 on the 1st of month.

You can use CDO object model to avoid having to have SQLMail running on your server.  Also, here's a stored procedure that you can use as a sample.

create procedure dbo.sp_send_cdosysmail (
   @SMTPServer varchar(128),
   @From varchar(100),
   @To varchar(100),
   @Subject varchar(100)= ' ',
   @Body varchar(8000) = ' '
as
   declare @iMsg int                ,
           @hr int                  ,
           @source varchar(255)     ,
           @description varchar(500),
           @output varchar(1000)

-- Do some error handling after each step if you need to.

   exec @hr = sp_OACreate 'CDO.Message', @iMsg out

   exec @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing").Value','2'

   exec @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Configuration.fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").Value', @SMTPServer

   exec @hr = sp_OAMethod @iMsg, 'Configuration.Fields.Update', null

   exec @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'To', @To
   exec @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'From', @From
   exec @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'Subject', cast(@Subject as varchar(100))

   exec @hr = sp_OASetProperty @iMsg, 'TextBody', @Body
   exec @hr = sp_OAMethod @iMsg, 'Send', NULL

   if @hr <> 0 begin
      exec @hr = sp_OAGetErrorInfo null, @source out, @description out
      if @hr = 0 begin
         select @output = '  Source: ' + @source
         print  @output
         select @output = '  Description: ' + @description
         print  @output
      end else begin
         print '  sp_OAGetErrorInfo failed.'
         return
      end
   end

   exec @hr = sp_OADestroy @iMsg

Subject:	[dba-SQLServer]Auto email users from SS7 on the 1st of month.

Hi All,

I have a database in SQL Server 7 that stores time sheet information. Users
submit time sheets for the previous month. For example, on July 1st they
will need to submit their time sheet for June.

I have a table with the users and their e-mail addresses. What I would like
SQL Server to do is on July 1st automatically send out an e-mail to the
users who have not submitted a time sheet that will remind them that it is
due. I do not have a problem with creating a query that will tell me who
these users are, but I would like some help on how to make SQL Server run
this task, on its own, every month and e-mail a reminder to the qualifying
users.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Joe R.
