Database Mail Attachments Filling Up The System Drive!
Apr 30, 2007
Hi all,
Has anyone run into this issue before?
My company uses database mail extensively for alerting and the like, and most emails sent have attachments. We've put in place procedures for removing emails older than a month from the MSDB database, however we've now had a client server completely run out of the disk space due to attachments being stored in the C:Documents and SettingsUserLocal SettingsTemp folder!?!
When I check the sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp sproc, it only removes entries in the MSDB tables, and doesn't remove these temporary files in the temp directory.
Does anyone know why SQL Server stores them in the temp directory of the service account user, as well as how we can remove them (apart from manually deleting the files), as we need to have an automated process for cleaning up emails, and at the moment SQL Server 2005 doesn't handle this very well.
I've checked this on our test server as well, and we're getting the same there, and this server is running the latest SP2 + hot fixes.
Thanks,
Reece.

I am sending multiple attachments with database mail for that i have created script to generate file names and send it to mail. Below are my script
DECLARE @MailFile VARCHAR(100)
SET @MailFile = 'Detail_Reimbursement_1_15_'
+ LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, Getdate()), 3)
+ Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR, Getdate(), 100), 8, 4)
+ '.csv'
[Code] ....
The script is working fine if i manually provided file path to @file_attachments. it is showing error i passes the variable @Loc3 to @file_attachments. Below is the error if i passes the variable to @file_attachments parameter.
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
Msg 22051, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Attachment file 'E:DatabaseTannaFinanceReportDetail_Reimbursement_1_15_Aug2015.csv is invalid.

I have a database [CarlosDB] that currently has it's .MDF on E: and I need to move the x2 .NDF data files off C: to E:data using a single T-SQL statement:
Code:
database_id file_id db_name disk_path status size read_only
----------- ----------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 1 CarlosDB E:dataCarlosDB.mdf ONLINE 384 0
7 2 CarlosDB_log L:logsCarlosDB_log.ldf ONLINE 128 0
7 3 CarlosDB_2 C:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf ONLINE 128 0
7 4 CarlosDB_3 C:sqlCarlosDB_3.ndf ONLINE 128 0
(4 row(s) affected)
Looking at the file configuration above, what would be the most logical way as a DBA / SQL Server 2014 Std to move the NDF files to live w/ the MDF file using:
Code:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'copy c:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf e:dataCarlosDB_2/ndf'...
but cleanly using a single T-SQL statement? properly formatting a single T-SQL query to use the xp_cmdshell system stored procedure.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has extended the standard CDOSYS Mail Stored Procedure (SP) to allow it to send the results of a query as an attachment?
I have set up a SP for CDOSYS Mail as outlined in the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=kb;de;312839&sd=tech
Currently I am using the old SQL Mail (xp_SendMail). But due to the problems with losing the MAPI connection and other limitations, I have been forced to find another solution. Using SQL Mail, I was able to add a query parameter and attach the results of the query to the email. I need to have the same functionality in CDOSYS Mail
Thanks,
Kim

I have system database and user database file are present in G,H and W drive.The process is going to be - copy data from G to S, H to T, W to U. Rename G to X, H to Y and W to Z. Rename S to G, T to H and U to W. Reboot the servers. The original G, H and W will then be X, Y and Z. The old S will be the new G, old T will be H and old U will be W. My question is that after doing this whether my SQL server will start or not

Installed SQL Server 2000 Enterprise trial a week ago on XP Pro. Installed new Seagate 80G HD; used Seagate's utility to copy old C: to new drive as new boot drive. All seems to work fine, except, when booting up, SQL server doesn't start. When I try to start it manually I get the following:
Could not start SQLSERVER service on the local computer. Error 3: the system cannot find the specified path.
1. What could be wrong?
2. How do I fix it?

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

I have phrased this question here once before but no one could answer it, so please let me know if you think you know what the problem is.
I have a Test Environment on Server2 restored from the production environment on Server1. Production is publishing to a subscriber on Server3. The problem is that even though I have truncate on checkpoint = TRUE set for the Test environment, the log fills up (all the way, not even truncate transaction with no_log fixes it).
The log size is 750MB, with a data portion of about 3GB. Is this somehow related to the fact that SQL Server still thinks the tables in the test environment are marked for replication? I have noticed it believes this becuase I am not allowed to drop tables on Test, even though Test is not even set up as a publishing database.
Other information:
1) The recovery interval on Server2 is 3 minutes.
2) I am frustrated
Thanks in advance.

Hello
I have got a script which gives the mail to the dba mail box when database backup fails.
In the script I want to make a change so that I get the particular database name , on what ever database i implement.
Can you tell me some suggestions.
The script I am using is :
use master
go
alter PROCEDURE dbo.SendMail
@to VARCHAR(255),
@subject VARCHAR(255),
@message VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@rv INT,
@from VARCHAR(64),
@server VARCHAR(255);
SELECT
@from = 'testsql2000@is.depaul.edu',
@server = 'smtp.depaul.edu';
select @message = @message + char(13) + Char(13) + @@servername + '-'+ db_name()+ '-' + 'Backup Status Failed' + Char(13)
EXEC @rv = dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@to = @to,
@from = @from,
@message = @message,
@subject = @subject,
@server = @server;
END
GO
--- After the above script is run the following should be given in the 2nd step when
--- the backup jobs are scheduled ------
exec master.dbo.sendmail
@to = 'dvaddi@depaul.edu',
@subject =' Test sqlserver 2000',
@message = '' ;

And I have the following code behind:protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
try
{MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("me@mydomain.com", "My Name");MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress("them@theirdomain.com");
message.From = fromAddress;
message.To.Add(toAddress);
message.Subject = subj.Text;message.IsBodyHtml = false;
message.Body = messg.Text;smtpClient.Host = "myhost";
smtpClient.Send(message);resultLabel1.Text = "Email sent!";
}catch
{resultLabel1.Text = "Send failure";
}
}
The queries get e-mail addresses from a SQL database for all people who work in a particular building.
The buttons will send an email if I give a To address.
How do I write the code so that clicking on the "Building A" button will send the e-mail to the addresses from the query results individually?
Any ideas?

I made the SQL function and so on.
When I try to run it I get the following message:

KB Article 906547 suggest that it's possible to have system variables in the Subject & Body of a Send Email Task. Such as this:
"Package>>> " + @[System::PackageName] +" was executed at>>> " + (DT_WSTR, 40) @[System::StartTime] + " by user>>> " + @[System::UserName] + " on Machine>>> " + @[System::MachineName]
Or this in an OnError event handler:
"Error in the task: " + @[System::SourceName] + "with the ID: " + @[System::SourceID] + " has failed at: " + (DT_WSTR, 20) @[System::ContainerStartTime] + "."
But when I do this I just get this exact text, no variables.
I'm obviously missing something basic but I can't find it. Can anyone offer a suggestion please?

Hi every body
I want to send a simple mail using DATABASE MAIL feature in SQL SERVER 2005.
I've defined a public profile.
I've enabled Database Mail stored procedures through the Surface Area Configuration .
but I can't send a mail with sp_send_dbmail stored procedure in 'msdb' database .
when I execute sp_send_dbmail in the Managment Studio the message is
"Mail queued" but the mail is not sent.
Could it be related to Service Broker?Because the Surface Area Configuration indicates:'this inctance does not have a Service Broker endpoint'.If so, how should I make an endpoint?
here is the log file after executing sp_send_dbmail:
1) "DatabaseMail process is started"
2) "The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2007-03-08T00:49:29). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)."
The DatabaseMail90.exe is triggred ,so the mail is transfered to the mail queue but DatabaseMail90.exe couldn't give the mail to SMTP server.The promlem is what should I do to make DatabaseMail90.exe able to connect to the server?
please help me.

Hello,
I need help with the setup of my sql server express 2005 and more specifically, with the location of the database files. Normally, database files are located on the c: drive. In my situation, being in a high school environnement, I need to have the database files on the network drive ... lets call it g:drive. The reason why it cannot be on c:drive is because this drive is protected using DeepFreeze. Now, I was able to change the location of the new drive as I went into the properties window of the sql server instance but when I try to create this new database, sql gives me grief ;-|
I am from the group of people that thinks that to anything, there is a solution and am hoping that to this problem, there is hope of a solution.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

I have a 'need an opinion' question. I've always installed the system databases (master, msdb, model, tempdb) on the root drive (c:) with the sql application. Then I was thinking, the only things that really should be on the root drive is the sql app itself (and any other required apps). So...my question is, do y'all install the master, etc on a separate drive other than the root, ie d: or e:? The reason I ask is that if the tempdb database has alot of activity, and the database resides on the root drive, could it affect sql performance?
Just wondering. I just started working in a 'virgin' sql environment (setting up sql servers from scratch), and want to have sql installed in the best possible way for performance.
Thanks in advance for any info y'all can provide.
