xp_startmail is documented as returning two code: 0 success, 1 failure.
It would be nice to check the return code.
When mail has already been started it returns a 1. This case appears
indistinguishab le from a failure to start. (MSFT should have provided
separate return codes for failure-already started, and failure-cannot
start, but they did not.)
Does anyone know how to distinguish these cases. Text is printed
indicating that it has already been started but I don't know how to
programmaticall y grab this case.
It seems the conventional workaround is not to check the return code at
all (or to start mail once at server startup and never start it again).
Neither is ideal.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi
You don't say what your client is written in! ADO has an errors collection
that should contain the error, see the topic "Handling Errors and Messages
in ADO" for an overview.

"You don't say what your client is written in!"
No client. This is a SQL Stored Procedure (invoked by a sql job, but
that is irrelevant) in which I wish to call xp_startmail and
distinguish between "failure, already started" and "failure, won't
start".
Did you test it in ADO or are you offering general advice?

Hi
With ADO/ODBC occasions such as when a status of SQL_SUCCESS_WIT H_INFO you
can get the messages and interogate them. The options seem to be assume
that SQLMail is running and not start it every time, or to explicity stop it
first ignoring any errors which it throws up.
You may want to look at: http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm as a different
way to send emails.

I have a property called GeneralStatus that can return an int between -1 and

Howdy,
I was reflecting recently on malloc.
Obviously, for tiny allocations like 20 bytes to strcpy a filename or
something, there's no point putting in a check on the return value of
malloc.
OTOH, if you're allocating a gigabyte for a large array, this might
fail, so you should definitely check for a NULL return.

Let me preface this by saying that I think I "get" the concept of duck-

However, I still want to sprinkle my code with assertions that, for

mistakenly pass in something I didn't intend, and when that happens, I
want the code to fail as early as possible, so I have the shortest
possible path to track down the real bug. Also, a sufficiently clever

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
