SQL Select In Xp_sendmail...what's Up With The Space After?
Jun 7, 2004
HI all, I am using xp_sendmail to select from a temporary table some data that wants to get out to the real world from the database.
The select is easy, as it just involves a simple select of a varchar(1200) from a temporary table.
What I'm seeing though (WITHOUT the assistance of Mr. Cuervo in this instance ;) ) is that in the email message, even if my varchar only has 20 characters in it, that the select in the email is padded with blanks out to what appears to be the full 1200 byte maximum in the varchar (for each row inserted into the email).
I have used "RTRIM(myvarchar)" both during writing to the temp table, and in the xp_sendmail select variable, and STILL get the blanks on the end.
Anybody know any easy way to drop my extra padding on my varchar when it's added to the email (embedded in the actual email).
I have a table with 3 fields. when I type select * from test -- I am getting the results as below.
NAME AGE DEPT
AAA 23 AOD BBB 27 NULL CCC NULL NULL DDD 23 POD
DEPT,AGE are displayed with "NULL" WHEN THERE IS NO value for that field . How can I eliminate this. I need space instead of NULL. When I export to text file there also contains NULL. Let me know how can I eliminate this.
Hi, I am trying to do this: UPDATE Users SET uniqueurl = replaceAllEmptySpacesInUniqueURL('uniqueurl') What would be the syntax. Any help appreciated. Thanks
I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005. The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions 1) Replacing spaces with €œ €? 2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale
I am trying to use xp_sendmail with no luck. My SQL mail works fine and I am logged in as sa. Here is the csript that I am using. The script works on my local box(which is running Win 2K Advanced Server and SQL 7). It will not work on my production boxes. Any suggestions?
I am using xp_sendmail in a stored procedure.I need to update the fields after the mail sent. Is there a way to capture the errors or server messages that occurs. I am using the following code.....
If @send_Mail=0 Begin update MasterleadPool/*Updates the MasterleadPool table once the mail sent */ Set EmailSent='Y', Dateout=getdate() where AssToID=@AssToID and EmailSent='N' and AssToFlag='Y' End
I used @@error to capture the error but it does'nt work. I got server message as follows.... So the problem is it should'nt go to update statement if there is any type of errors in sending a mail..
Server: Msg 17903, Level 18, State 1, Line 0 MAPI login failure.
However in doing this, it never works (go figure or I wouldn't be submitting this). I have defined the variable @EMAIL_ADDRESS_LNK appropriately to reference a field in a table and I'm positive that the value in the field is valid.
What am I missing? If this is not possible, is there a workaround. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
How robust is xp_sendmail? I would like to roll thru 10 - 20 thousand records, strip the email and send a newsletter...
I'm a definite newby when it comes to mail servers (and how they interact with SQL Server 7.0)...so I'm not sure whether this type of processing would crash/stall the server.
can xp_sendmail handle this type of processing?
I appreciate your help,
p.s. can u point me to any good articles on the subject?
I have a query that works on its own, however when I put it into xp_sendmail it fails. It appears that the "set" command does not work. Here is the query. Any suggestions? Can you use variables within xp_sendmail @ query section?
EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = 'Richard Peoples', @subject = 'The following Budget Checked items need attention.', @query ='DECLARE @A1 CHAR (20) DECLARE @A2 CHAR (2) SET @A1 = 'Yvette Palomo' SET @A2 = 'N' IF (select COUNT (*) from FSPROD75.dbo.PS_C_JRNLLN_BUDCHK where RETURN_TO_ANALYST = @A1 AND BUDGET_CHECK_CLEAR= @A2) > 0 begin select A.JOURNAL_ID, A.PROJECT_ID, A.ACCOUNT, B.XLATLONGNAME from FSPROD75.dbo.PS_C_JRNLLN_BUDCHK A INNER JOIN FSPROD75.dbo.XLATTABLE B ON A.BCM_LINE_STATUS = B.FIELDVALUE where (((A.RETURN_TO_ANALYST)= @A1) AND ((A.BUDGET_CHECK_CLEAR)=@A2)) AND (B.FIELDNAME = "BCM_LINE_STATUS") end'
I'm using XP_Sendmail on an NT Server and it works fine. We have a new Windows 2000 server, which the SQL Mail has been set up correctly, and the test passes.
When I use execute xp_sendmail in the query analyzer on the 2000 server, it just sits there and processes for over an hour, without any error messages.
select @MB_Free = MB_Free from #FreeSpace where Drive = 'J'
if @MB_Free < 550 exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = 'test@yahoo.com', @message = 'Running low on free space'
I can run it as a job step. However, the problem is that we don't have Microsoft Outlook to run xp_sendmail proc to get notify when the free space on the drive is low. I can run mailsend which is os command and add that as a job step. But I don't know how to combine the code above and mailsend, since one is the t-sql and the other one is command script. Any help is appreciated.
I have recently added columns to a table that is part of a xp_send mail script. meaning i run a query off of the table that had the columns added. I am now getting the error: failed with operating system error 32
I have no idea what this means. This is a copy of the script. exec xp_sendmail 'dionne, jim;eddens, david;Wiggs, Alexander;Miller, Debbie;conmdi', '(scrbbususcnc01) Failure 322 Load', @Attachments = '322Error.txt;\scrbbususcnc01archive322msg322M SG.txt;', @query = 'Use [maersk data warehouse] create table #Duplicate_Records (Equipment_Number varchar(10) ,Activity_Date varchar(6) ,Activity_Time varchar(4) ,Sighting_Code varchar(2) ,CountOfEquipment_Number int) insert into #Duplicate_Records SELECT STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Equipment_Number, STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Activity_Date, STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Activity_Time, STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Sighting_Code, Count(STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Equipment_Number) AS CountOfEquipment_Number FROM STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL GROUP BY STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Equipment_Number, STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Activity_Date, STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Activity_Time, STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Sighting_Code HAVING (((Count(STG_INTERMODAL_322MSG_TBL.Equipment_Numbe r))>1))

it gives error saying that @table_var must be declared. even if i use temporary table, the message i get is "cannot reference object in tempdb database."

The stored procedurewill still be created.does this mean that only dependencies involving xp_sendmail will notbe stored? the other dependencies appear to be fine. i'm not surewhy sql would even bother telling me this info. thoughts?
