Can anyone get SQL Mail to work? Just so as I know that what I`m doing is not a complete waste of time.
Scenario
SQL Server 6.5 SP4, NT 4.0 SP3, Outlook 97/Exchange Client 4.0
I want to automatically email a workstation the status Scheduled Tasks from SQL Server. This mail will then be forwarded via SMS to a mobile phone.
I can send messages from SQL successfully. These I can see in the Outbox of Outlook, but the messages do not always leave the Outbox. Users have recieved SQL mail, but this generally requires restarting Outlook on the server (which tends to crash most of the time so various processes have to be terminated - all very messy). I can send `manual` mail to users using Outlook, no problem. I even can see these messages leave the Outbox, while SQL Mail stays.
Has anyone experienced similiar problems, or got any suggestions
I'm not to familiar with SQL so I'm frustrated. The deal is this: I have a table with product information in it. I'm creating an xml doc from this data via a datagrid. I have to add two extra fields into the table to match my DTD. I did that fine and what I need to do is set those fields equal to the value in another. I need to pull my id field value and store that in the BuyUrl field which is appended to the end of a url. How can I achieve this? Thanks for your help.
I have just set up SQL server and Visual Studio Pro to set up a development machine for a uni course I am doing, I have begun writing databases and at first everything seems okay, I write a small app fire it off in debug and all works, then without warning Visual Studio is unable to connect to the database despite using the corrrect credentials, I knows its an SQL problem because I get a server error through IIS telling me that it cannot connect through <em>ComputerNameLoginName</em>
if i turn everything off and restart IIS I can get a connection but then despite it retrieveing the database when testing a query (within the add SQL connection form in VS2008, it shows the table info) Then once again al is lost and it refuses to tafe valid connections until I restart (however I CAN login through SQL Management)
Greetings, all!I've searched the MS SQL Server Books Online and this group.I've been doing Oracle on UNIX for 12+ years, and now I have some SQLServer databases.I've discovered the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables (just like the good ol'dba_* views inOracle)I've figured out how to use SQL2005 Management Studio.What'd I'd like to know is - can SQL Server be used to write SQL likeOracle can; e.g:spool csyn.sqlset heading offset pagesize 6000select 'CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM '||table_name||' FORSYSADM.'||TABLE_NAME||';'from dba_tables where owner='SYSADM';spool offIn SQL*Plus, the above will create a script to create public synonymsfor tables in a PeopleSoft database (tables in PeopleSoft multiply likeTribbles in a storage bin of quadrotriticale...).Yah, GUI's are fine....until you have thousands and thousands of tablesto deal with!Thanks ever so much
Folks, I've been trying to extract the minimum and maximum date from the following query:
select top 27 calendar_day.date_value from calendar_day where calendar_day.date_value < current_date() and calendar_day.insession = 1 order by calendar_day.date_value desc
When I then turn this into a derived table and try to extract the minimum/maximum dates, I get the actual minimum/maximum dates of the whole table rather than the result set from the derived table, so obviously it's an aggregate problem. I'm at a loss to figure out how to pull these two dates out and would appreciate any help from more seasoned SQL folks than me.
Why have you made connecting to a sql server express database so difficult?
I have it working locally, but going to production has been nothing but a nightmare.
I can't even connect locally on the production box.
I am on a dedicated server and my login is an Admin on the box. I have just installed SQL Express + the fancy management interface.
I have made a copy of my database that I was connecting to dynamically (which was failing remotely) and I have attached it to the server. I have made myself a user of the database and granted my self evey permission available.
I have turned on impersonation in my web.config. The database knows it's me trying to connect and STILL denies me when I'm actually ON the production server. It is not even a remote connection problem.
How can I sit there an look at myself as a user of the database in the admin interface, yet I cannot connect via a web app. With SQL server 2000 and MSDE it was soooo simple....
Here is the error: Cannot open database requested in login 'TEST'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'DEDICATEDquick'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database requested in login 'TEST'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'DEDICATEDquick'.
I have a screen shot of the admin interface to prove I am a user.
This should be a 5 minute task that has eaten up days.
I want to use a Service Broker Queue as a processing queue. I found several examples on the WEB and have tried to make them work but they do not. Below is the example I used and I ASSUME I should get a Hello World in the Message field at the end but its empty.
Any ideas as to why? I have tried select * from ReceiverQueue and select * from SenderQueue before I do a RECIEVE and both QUEUE's are empty
Scooter ----------------------------------CODE-------------------------------------------- USE AdventureWorks GO
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE HelloMessage VALIDATION = NONE GO

I've set up DB mail and sent a test e-mail and that comes through fine.
I set up an Operator with email Name: DWhelpton@k-and-s.com;MWeaver@k-and-s.com
I created a job and set up the notifications to e-mail the operator on failure.
When the job runs and fails, I do not get an e-mail and I get the following exception in the db mail log:

Anybody can tell me that what I can do so that i can send mail using the SMTP databasemail account."
Dear all, I have switched off the firewall settings on my system and as suggested im entering the minimal information and data to send the mail. but still the Mail Task is failing.. plz suggest.
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea as this is driving me nuts.
I've setup a task to email on success/failure and keep receiving the following message when executed:
Progress: The SendMail task is initiated. - 0 percent complete [Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.". Progress: The SendMail task is completed. - 100 percent complete Task Send Mail Task failed
When I configure Outlook Express on the same machine with the same settings it works.
On the SMTP Connection Manager I have left the default name, tested with both an IP address and Server Name, and no authentication or SSL.
On the Send Mail Task, it uses the above connection. The To: , From: , Subject fields are populated. Message SourceType is DirectInput, MessageSource is Test, Priority is Normal and no attachments or expressions etc.
Nothing useful is logged in the Event Viewer even with full logging turned on.
Hello, The Database Mail feature is already enabled on the server, also I have a mail account on the other server. The problem I faced is that I need to send mail from my SQL Server using a created email account on the other server. How should I configure my email to do that ? Should I use a sysmail_add_account procedure to enable account, also set profile and profile account ? Does this way creates server mail account that is binded with other email account? The mail should be sent from my SQL Server. Thank You.
Our company use yahoo business mail server for our corporate mails. I know that I can configure database mail with SMTP. But when I try to configure database mail account with yahoo bizmail, I cannot do that. It gets configured but when I test it it doesn't send any mails. Do I need to have any special condiguration for this. SMTP address is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Also I have specified the Authentication using my user name and password. Please help
I keep getting a generic "Error Sending Mail" error. For testing purposes I am just trying to send using my own email account. What goes in the SMTP Server box in the connection manager? I have tried:
A - the exchange server address (SOMETHING.us.company.com) B - The SMTP properties I see when I look at the properties of my email address: (my.name@abcd.efgh.company.com) C - Just the end portion of the SMTP properties: (abcd.efgh.company.com) D - My email address (my.name@company.com)
I don't know what to enter, or what is giving me such a generic error message.
I know you can specify additional recipients in the To column by sepperating them with a semicolon. But whats the easiest way to send to several users, when the email address must be retrieved from a table with a query like this:
select email from problem_subscribers
where project = 'project1'
and statusmail = 'OnError'
So when the eventhandler gets an OnError i want the mail task to be sent to each problemsubscriber.
i have to create a scheduled task that does the following:
a) creates an Excel Spreadsheet from a SQL Query
b) sends the spreadsheet to a user
i then need to schedule this task so that it runs every day and creates a NEW spreadsheet (doesnt matter it the name is the same as long as it overwrite what is already there)
HELP me PLEASE i dont like this SQL Game anymore !!

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?
Hi. I have problems with sending a mail from SQL Server: SQL Mail starts. Command: xp_sendmail 'MRudyk','Halo!' returns:Unknown recipient: Parameter '@recipients', recipient 'Mrudyk' 'Mrudyk' is valid recipient...

I had a very recent problem where an excess number of mail records were queued. I ran sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp and deleted them from the InternalMailQueue, but it looks like they still exist in the ExternalMailQueue as I keep getting messages in the log similar to "Mail Id 2277459 has been deleted from sysmail_mailitems table. This mail will not be sent". The MailItem_Id keeps incrementing so it looks like it's working its way through. The problem is we can't use it to sent current mail until it gets through about another 3 million records. If there is some way to delete those records from the External Mail Queue or fast-forward the system to the current records that would be very helpful. Any ideas?
Hello Everyone, I am trying to configure SQL MAIL and SQL SERVER AGENT MAIL feature of SQL SERVER 2000 with Lotus Domino server (Not Microsoft Exchange). Every thing goes fine and it works also. Problem starts when I try to restart SQL Agent Service. It hangs and the status of service remain 'starting'... Also the size of the sqlagent service process goes upto 12MB. I don't understand why? Can any one help me in solving this problem. I am using Windows 2000 Advanced Server and SQL Server 2000 with SP3. Domino client is R5.0.5 and Outlook 2000.
I set up SQL mail to send mail using MS Mail Server off of a separate server. The mail works and the server does mail out with the difference that I must physically click on the "check mail" for MS Messenger to send the mail out to the mail server. I thought about installing MS Exchange (The one I have running on NT workstation) but I can not find the installation kit for Exchange anywhere. I tried Microsoft but I can not find it. Is there a trick to installing Exchange out of the cd rom for NT 4.0? Or is there a setting in Messenger that I have to set for it to send mail by itself?
I need help Please.
Thank you for your help David E. Pierri Pseudo SQL Admin
I have been reading everything i can find regarding sql mail and sqlagent mail.We have a win2k server, sql 2000 and NO, NO, NO exchange server(all upto date on service packs).I have tried repeatadly for days to make this work, and have had noluck so far.1. I have a valid profile that tests fine in sql agent and via sqlmail test buttons.2. I have logged in to the box under that new domain account toinstall outlook and configure all the remaining options.3. I have set both the mssqlserver service and the sqlserveragentservice to run under the domain account that coincides with our pop3email server, and restarted both of them.4. I have installed outlook 2002, and I can send and receive emailsjust fine from our sql server.5. As soon as I try to test an email from within a job, the testfails.All I wanted to do was just be notified if a job fails. The amount oftime lost on what should have been a 30 minute project isunbelievable!!!If anyone has some suggestions, other than the obvious, please let meknow.Thanks,Dave
I have attempted to report out errors at the end of an ETL process by alerting supporting DBAs of errors using the SSIS "Send Mail Task". Task completes along with the sequenced packages, but does not mail anything out. No logic at this time for trigger, just success from the previous task triggering the task to send mail. I also get no errors in the output, and I get no output indicating the send mail task fired, but it does go "green". Do I have to enable database mail and have privileges?
