In order to send mail using Database Mail in SQL Server, there are 3 basic steps that need to be carried out:
This wizard is used to manage accounts, profiles, and Database Mail global settings which are shown below:
After all validations of the parameters entered are done, certain stored procedures are executed and the mail is queued by Service Broker. Read more at SQL SERVER - Introduction to Service Broker.
Database Mail keeps copies of outgoing e-mail messages and displays them in the
Status can be verified using
- Create Profile and Account
- Configure Email
- Send Email
Step 1: Create Profile and Account
You need to create a profile and account using the Configure Database Mail Wizard which can be accessed from the Configure Database Mail context menu of the Database Mail node in Management Node.This wizard is used to manage accounts, profiles, and Database Mail global settings which are shown below:
Step 2: Configure Email
After the Account and the Profile are created successfully, we need to configure the Database Mail. To configure it, we need to enable the Database Mail XPs parameter through thesp_configure
stored procedure, as shown here: sp_CONFIGURE 'show advanced', 1 GO RECONFIGURE GO sp_CONFIGURE _
'Database Mail XPs', 1 GO RECONFIGURE GO
Step 3: Send Email
After all configurations are done, we are now ready to send an email. To send mail, we need to execute a stored proceduresp_send_dbmail
and provide the required parameters as shown below:USE msdb GO EXEC sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='PinalProfile', _
@recipients='test@Example.com', @subject='Test message', _
@body='This is the body of the test message. _
Congrats Database Mail Received By you Successfully.'
After all validations of the parameters entered are done, certain stored procedures are executed and the mail is queued by Service Broker. Read more at SQL SERVER - Introduction to Service Broker.
Database Mail keeps copies of outgoing e-mail messages and displays them in the
sysmail_allitems
, sysmail_sentitems
, sysmail_unsentitems
, sysmail_faileditems
. The status of the mail sent can be seen in sysmail_mailitems
table. When the mail is sent successfully, the sent_status
field of the sysmail_mailitems
table is set to 1
which can again be seen in sysmail_sentitems
table. The mails that have failed will have the sent_status
field value to 2
and those are unsent will have value 3
. The log can be checked in sysmail_log
table as shown below: SELECT * FROM sysmail_mailitems GO SELECT * FROM sysmail_log GO
Status can be verified using
sysmail_sentitems
table.
