MS SQL 6.5 Procedure to Send Query results via Email

[serendipity]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is possible as i've googled everywhere, but i have a
select query that returns a customer record with their associated sales
orders. I would like to automate a process which sends an email reminder to
each customer in the database, that has outstanding orders. This email
reminder should have the results of the query regarding their account.

The table structure are as follows.

---------------------
Customer_tbl
---------------------
CustomerID
AccountNo
Name
EmailAddress

---------------------
Order_tbl
---------------------
OrderID
CustomerID
Reference
Amount
Date
Outstanding_flg
Can anyone help?
Sen.

Hi

Posting DDL (Create table statements etc) and example data (as insert
statements) will remove any ambiguity when people try to answer your
questions.

To send individual emails you will need to use a cursor to send separate
emails to each customer. Check out xp_sendmail in Books online for details
on how to send emails from SQL Server.

You will have to be careful when configuring SQL Mail on SQLServer 6.5 and
the version of outlook you use.

Sen,

If you have a machine with the .NET Framework that can connect to the
SQL Server, give Gadami a try
(http://www.kripsoft.com/pages/2/index.htm). Insert your database
connection information and query in an XML file (see examples shipped
with product), and run GadamiConfig.exe to send the emails out. It
has a 'burst' feature that will automatically send each set of orders
to each customer. Merely tell the program what column in the query
contains your email addresses and it will split the data and send out
emails with HTML tables of the data.

The product is free to use for sending out up to 100 emails at a time,
and has a nominal cost if you want to send out more.
