I am new to sql and want to write a stored procedure to email a database group an attachment of a report that was created. Can someone please point me in the write direction thanks.
WHat do you mean by report ? Is it a report like from Reporting Services or is it just a results set from a query ? DO you want to swnd it via SQL Mail or SMTP ? DO you use SQL 2k or SQL 2k5 ?
I want to send an export via smtp using sql 2005. Is there a built-in stored procedure that will allow me to send an smtp message, and attach my export csv.
You could use the new Database Mail feature. But for your needs it is easier to use a SSIS package since you can export the data from table(s) to file and email it using built-in tasks. You could do the same within SQL Server also but you have to xp_cmdshell to run BCP out and that poses security risks among other things.
