I'm generating emails using sp_send_dbmail. Everything works perfectly except for one thing. In the body of the email I need to show a link to a web page (eg http://myweb/login.aspx).
The problem is that the received email shows the "link" as plain text, ie it is not a clickable link. I've tried adding char(13) (and char(10) and both) after the link text but that doesn't help.
Is there a way to make the link text a real link when received by Outlook? (All recipients will be using Outlook if that helps).
hello, need help with a simple trigger i have been working on. the trigger automatically sends me an email out when a record is inserted, how ever i can't seem to get the row column data into the email. The part i do not understand is that I get the row column data information in the email if I update the row. This is for 2005 SQL Any direction would be greatly appreaciated OneIDesigned
I have an Htm file that i want to use as my email body on Send Mail Task MessageSourceType: File Connection MessageSource: Email.htm
It sends the email with the file in the body but not in HTML format it outputs the HTML tags + data eg: <span style="font-size:9.0pt;">Period: 2008.04</span>
I used the same file in a DTS package & that works fine.
I currently have a web form posting back to a SQL table using a StoredProcedure. Part of this SP is that it pulls data from another tableand inserts a new row into the registration table.I want to have a trigger on the registration table that will fire whenthe row is inserted which will use the sp_send_cdosysmail sproc to sendan e-mail to the user.However, I want to be able to include the value of one of the fieldswithin the BODY of the message.

We have a DTS package that sends smtp email from an ActiveX script task. The body of the emails are in template files that we read in and then replace values relating to the customer.
I am looking for suggestions of handling this process from an SSIS package. This is what our existing code does.

Everyday morning I email the sql query/stored procedure output results to the users, I was wondering if I can use some kind of t-sql code or DTS packages so that I can automate this process where I want to send the sql/stored proc results in the body of the email.
I dont know how to place the field 'strTitle and datBorrowed " in my email? Not as an attachment though....Just write it in the mail as part of message body...
I use this SQL select statement to retrieve the strTitle and datBorrowed fields
strSQL += @"Select replace(strtitle,'[Original Book] - ',''), datBorrowed from tblBooks where convert(varchar(10),datBorrowed,101) = convert(varchar(10),(getdate() - 1),101) ORDER BY strTitle asc";
Dict.AddVal(0, "EMAIL_MESSAGE", "*** This e-mail is automatically generated. ***" + "*** PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL. ***" + "" + "Books Borrowed Yesterday are:" +
"" + "" + "Thank you," + "" + "eLibrarian" + "" + "================================================== ===============" + "" + "This e-mail is automatically generated by the Library system." + "Please do not reply.");
i need to put or wedge the data i got from the SQL Statement into this or after the line "Books Borrowed Yesterday are:" +
I am trying to insert a carriage return in the select statement after the web link where I had highlighted code in bold. When I insert a record into the table, I receive the email with the message body is in single line.I need the result to look like this in the message body:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[SendNotification] ON [dbo].[TicketsHashtags] FOR INSERT AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
What I am trying to do, Extract the data from SQL table and Insert in Email Body and email to user. I got good article on Internet, I follow all steps as it is, but still I am getting error.
Here is the link : [URL] ....
But I am getting Error:

I have a column of data on my report that contains an email address. Is it possible to format this so that the person running the report can just click on the link and have that action launch their email program...like Outlook?
I have set up a test subscription that sends an email that includes both the report and the url link to the report. However, the report does not render when user clicks on url link in subscription email. The parameter toolbar sorta appears at top of page but buttons are not showing correcty. I saw similiar issue posted in another forum but no one had resolved yet. We all noticed that the subscription email uses /reportserver folder instead of /Reports folder.
The report does appear fine in the email so I believe the problem is the URL.
When I set up an email subscription for a report, I can get the email notification if I only include a link to the report, but get the generic "Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information." error message when I attempt to include the actual report in the email; either as "Web Archive," or PDF." When I consult the ReportServer log file, I do not see any sort of exception that would indicate the true source of the error.
I have set the file security on the RSTempFiles folder to allow the IIS_WPG group to modify the folder, but when I looked into the RS config files, it looked as though SSRS wasn't configured to use temporary storage.
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
Hi everyone, I have a small dilema here. I am running SSRS 2000, and I have a report that is grouped by Part Number. I have =Fields!Formula.Value < .1 so I can view only what is greater than .1 Well, my problem is that when I put it under the group Visibility properties, it does not pull all the data. and if i put it under detail Visibility. It does show me everything but any Part Number that is less than .1 shows just the part number but no detail. How can I make my report show all my data but without leaving data out????
I have a stored procedure that takes various parameters and performs simple selects using these. A quick summary of the db structure this is working on would be :
lookup_table1 table1_id description
lookup_table2 table2_id description
This stored procedure attempts to select the given description from the given table and return the id, if the id isnt present it then inserts the new value and returns the new id.
Now I have this working, ish, but the problem that I have is that in the case of a new insert the procedure returns two datasets, an empty one (as the initial select returned no results) and another with the id of the newly inserted value.
-- -- Check if the given lookup value exists in the give table / column -- set @sql ='SELECT ' + @lookup_id_name + ' FROM ' + @lookup_table + ' WHERE ' + @lookup_description_col + ' = ''' + @lookup_value + '''' EXECUTE sp_executesql @sql if (@@rowcount = 0) goto new_value if (@@error <> 0) goto on_error return(1)
-- -- Insert new lookup value into the given table / column -- new_value: -- NEED TO CLEAR PREVIOUS NULL SELECT begin transaction set @sql = 'INSERT INTO ' + @lookup_table + ' (' + @lookup_description_col + ') VALUES (''' + @lookup_value + '''); SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()' execute sp_executesql @sql if (@@error <> 0) goto on_error commit transaction return(1)
The problem being is that if the value is inserted as a new value I need to remove the empty dataset so that regardless of how the procedure is run, it will always return the id at position row 0 column 0.
My attempted solution was to declare a @temp var and place the return value of sp_executesql into this, and if it wasnt null then return it, and if it was then proceed to insert, e.g.
declare @temp int ... SET @temp = EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL if (@@temp = null) goto new_value SELECT @temp return(1)
Obviously this doesnt work, so I am open to suggestions. To be completly honest I have run out of hair to rip out and I am sure this can probably be done in a much more elegant fashion, so any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi, I am using Sql Server 2005. I want to place a LOCK, insert something in the table then return back to the code (with the ID of the inserted item) and then call FUNCTION_A and then based on the outcome of the function I either want to
I want to keep the inserted item and release the lock or I want to delete the inserted item and release the lock Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Regards naimulah
Our development server is limited on RAM and I have been asked to increase Tempdb. I made the decision to put it back on disk; something I have done dozens of times before. I have used the Enterprise Manager`s GUI interface and I have manually typed in the SQL using ISQL/w, both ways have resulted in the same error message.
Microsoft SQL-DMO Error 5016: [SQL Server] Incorrect database name or device name(s).
I have dropped the old and created new database devices (with different names) and I still receive the error message. I have even tried rebooting with Tempdb back in RAM and on disk 1t 2MB (which works). And yes, I HAVE checked my typing.
I would GREATLY appreciate any ideas on what may be wrong. The system is 6.5 with SP4 on Win NT with SP3. I inherited the system, so I am not certain what the hisory is.
Hi, Gurus, I am running SQL-Server 2000 on SCSIIs with Raid-5. Three disks. I see only one Logical Disk with 3 partitions. Since it's recommended to have Log files seperate to Data files physicially, currently both exist in the D-Drive. How can it be accomplished?
Another question for ur kind suggestion. I have a merge-repl setup. Publisher and distributor at the same machine. One subscriber over the internet. Replication works through VPN rather that FTP. Whenever i apply SNAPSHOT it takes more that 12 hrs to replicate the 2 GB DB. Although VPN is more secured but the tunneling makes the replication rather slow i guess. Will there be a major difference if i open the default port of ftp on the ISA and change the subscriber to get the SNAPSHOT as Anonymous Subsciption. I mean What's better, Security VS Performance. During the SNAPSHOT the Web-users running on the Subscriber wait for the latest data which is very much annoying.
Another question please, I wanna replace the current publisher-DB machine with a new Hardware-Machine. I don't wanna lose Replication and re-running the SNAPSHOT. Is it possible to retain the publication by restoring the Master, Publication and Distributor respectively on the new machine. The new machine will have the same Operating system name and configuration.
I have created my packages and i want them to place them on the server.Do i need to place the entire project of dts packages on the server or is there any option to place executables...if so please explain....
And to run these packages on the server do i need to set them as new job at sql server agent or is there any other way i need to run on the server.
I want then to run whenever the text file gets updated is it possible to set anything for my packages to run as and when the text file gets updated..
I have been requested to add the sum of an interger field to the table header. I have the sum in the footer (which is very easy to do), but I cannot get the sum to appear in the table header.
I then set-up the stored procedure to run the sum, and place it into a dummy field. I still cannot add this field to the table header. Instead of printing the data for the dummy field (the correct total), it instead prints the actual field name on the report.
Is there anyway to place a sum in a table header on a SQL Server Report?
After exporting the report the column headers in the rreport should not scroll, it has to fix with report headers. If i move the column headers to report header the columns are merging in excel, some columns are hiding.
For ex: I have 10 columns, it has to take from A to K but it is taking A to P. one column is occupying two columns. how to avoid this merging and how to place the column headers in the report header.
I have a define formula that is SUM(Loan Loan Amount[2]) and this formula has a addition filter off of it.
The report is pulling off of calander months months so if in some of the fields it has a dollar amount but in others it is blank. Trying to write formula that if there is no amount then place zero otherwise put the $ amount.
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
Hi. I have an sql query that i use to insert articles to a sql databse table and for that i use addWithValue to select witch textboxes etc goes where in the database. Now i need to retrive these values and place them back into some other textboxes (some of them multiline) ,and i wonder if there are any similar ways to retrive values like AddWithparameter so i can easily do textBox.text = //whatever goes here ?

I've read that if particular tables are frequently queried together through a join then these tables should be placed on different devices on different physical disks. What does this mean exactly and how would you configure this? Is this a common practice in high-performance real-world environments (or should it be)?
