Email on insert in a table

Guju

Hi,

I wish to use email functionality of sql to send me an email when an insert
is performed on a particular table. I know that a proc and may be a trigger
is required.

Can someone please provide me some hints.

Thanks,

Guju

It's not a good idea to send email from a trigger. Email is an
inherently asynchronous medium so there is really no need to hold open
a transaction while sending an email. Also, if the INSERT is performed
inside a transaction which later gets rolled back then the email will
have been sent for an INSERT that never actually happened.

Schedule a process that regularly checks for new rows and sends out
emails accordingly. For example you can use SQL Agent to call such a
process every minute if required.

To call xp_sendmail? See Books Online for examples and syntax - there
are too many different options to cover here. I recommend
xp_smtp_sendmail instead - I've found it much easier to set up and more
reliable than xp_sendmail. Both are covered by the links in the article
I posted before.
