SQL sending email with data - sql

I am trying to send a table via email in a table like shape. What I mean is to style nicely the text that I am receiving in email, because now it looks ugly, not like a table. Any help would be much appreciated.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[testEmail]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #SubjectText VARCHAR(100) = 'Day ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,(CONVERT(DATE,GETDATE())))
DECLARE #tab char(1) = CHAR(9);
BEGIN
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#query = 'SELECT IDDruzyny, nazwa FROM TEST.dbo.Druzyna',
#body = '
<html>
<body>
<br/><b><font color=red>Hiho</font></b>
</body>
</html>
',
#Body_format = 'HTML',
#subject = #SubjectText,
#profile_name = 'SIT',
#recipients = 'safemail#onet.eu',
#attach_query_result_as_file = 0,
#query_result_separator = #tab,
#query_result_header = 1
END
END

SSIS Error: Unable to retrieve destination column descriptions from the parameters of the SQL command

I am getting an error :
[Load updated records to Table_vwAs_FixedIdentifier [85]] Error: Unable to retrieve destination column descriptions from the parameters of the SQL command.
when I execute the SSIS task in the image. It fails on the lower left "Load updated records to Table_vwAs.." oleDb update task. It has the following sql statement and also has a trigger also shown below. I have not been able to identify the cause of this issue till now. When I disabled the trigger, the task ran successfully. Any help will be eye-opening.
UPDATE
[dbo].[Sec]
SET
[SecID]=?
,[SECURITY_NAME]=?
,[SECURITY_SECTYPE_ID]=?

set NOCOUNT off
The issue was being caused due to
exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
in the trigger code, because it is not configured on the QA server. Resolved after I commented those lines.

Send sp_send_dbmail only if results are available

I want to send an e-mail from my database only if the executed query has output and is not empty.
I was wondering how I can do this and where to embed this into my code. On top of my head, I thought of counting the results and having count > 0 or maybe something with the query in conjunction with ##rowcount > 0. What would you suggest?
Here is my code:
ALTER proc dbo.spBornBefore2000 as
set nocount on
DECLARE #sub VARCHAR(100),
#qry VARCHAR(max),
#msg VARCHAR(250),
#query NVARCHAR(max),
#tab char(1) = CHAR(9)
SELECT #sub = 'before 1990 -' + cast(getdate() as varchar(100))
SELECT #msg = N'blablabla.....'
SELECT #query = ' select id, name, dob, year(dob) as birth_year
from people
where year(dob) < 2000 '
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'USERS',
#recipients = 'abc#gmail.com',
#body = #msg,
#subject = #sub,
#query = #query,
#query_attachment_filename = 'before2000.csv',
#attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
#query_result_header = 1,
#query_result_width = 256 ,
#query_result_separator = #tab,
#query_result_no_padding =1;
You can do something like this:
EXEC(#query)
IF ##ROWCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
-- send email here
END
ALTER proc dbo.spBornBefore2000 as
set nocount on
DECLARE #sub VARCHAR(100),
#qry VARCHAR(max),
#msg VARCHAR(250),
#query NVARCHAR(max),
#tab char(1) = CHAR(9)
SELECT #sub = 'before 1990 -' + cast(getdate() as varchar(100))
SELECT #msg = N'blablabla.....'
SET #query = ' select id, name, dob, year(dob) as birth_year
from people
where year(dob) < 2000 '
IF EXISTS (select id, name, dob, year(dob) as birth_year
from people
where year(dob) < 2000)
begin
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'USERS',
#recipients = 'abc#gmail.com',
#body = #msg,
#subject = #sub,
#query = #query,
#query_attachment_filename = 'before2000.csv',
#attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
#query_result_header = 1,
#query_result_width = 256 ,
#query_result_separator = #tab,
#query_result_no_padding =1;
end
ELSE
begin
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'USERS',
#recipients = 'myself#gmail.com',
#body = 'No results returned'
end

Using a variable as #Subject with sp_send_dbmail

I got the following Code which runs more or less smoothly.
DECLARE #MyId char(4),#MyResult varchar(max), #MySubject varchar(max);
SET #ID = 5;
SET #MyId = #ID;
SELECT #MyResult = SQL_Script FROM Table1 WHERE ID = + #MyId;
SELECT #MySubject = Subject FROM Table1 WHERE ID = + #MyId;
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name='Operator',
#recipients= 'test#mail.com',
#subject= #MySubject,
#query_result_separator = ' ',
#query_result_no_padding= 1,
#body= 'test',
#query_attachment_filename = 'Test.csv',
#query= #MyResult ,
#mailitem_id='1',
#attach_query_result_as_file = 1
END
The result of the Query which is store in #MyResult works just fine, but when I store a String in #MySubject I won't get a Mail.
If I write:
#subject= #MySubject, <-- Doesn't work (The String is not 'NULL')
#subject = 'test', <-- works
I have to save a String, which is located in Table1, into #MySubject and then use it as Subject for my Mail.
Sadly it has to be dynamic so I somehow have to get this to work.
using variable is not the issue.
Probably, this
#MySubject varchar(max)
the #subject parameter supposed to be nvarchar(255)
what is the value of #MySubject ? is it readable text ?
Spaces seem to be the problem:
SET #Subj = 'Test Subject' <- does not work
SET #Subj = 'Test_Subject' <- works

db sendmail in SQL still showing rows affected after params turned off

I'm sending results through an XML variable formatted with CSS and HTML in the body of an email. I have everything exactly the way I want it and it's still showing the garbled text query at the bottom of the HTML email. I have the #exclude_query_output turned off as well as SET NOCOUNT ON; in the actual #query paramater.
I've even tried to use NOCOUNT ON in the XML part of the SELECT statement and it's not working. Everything else seems to be working great but the text query still shows at the bottom of the email.
I'm pasting partial code due to security but here is some of it:
DECLARE #xml NVARCHAR(MAX)
declare #variousothervariableshere, like #subject1
SET #subject1 = 'Send Statistics for '+ #datenamemonth + ' ' + #datenameyear
set nocount on;
SET #xml = CAST(( SELECT
'left' as [td/#align], Task AS 'td','', 'center' as [td/#align], NumofRecords AS 'td',''
FROM [mytablehere] FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX))
set #HTMLBody = '<html><head>'
+ '<style>'
+ 'th {border: solid blue 1px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;padding-top:1px;padding-bottom:1px;font-size:11pt;} '
+ 'td {border: solid blue 1px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;padding-top:1px;padding-bottom:1px;font-size:11pt;} '
+ '</style>'
+ '</head>'
+ '<body>'
+ '<p>'
+ '<table border="1">'
+ '<tr>'
+ '<th style="color:#fff000;">Num of Records</th>'
+ '</tr>'
set #HTMLBody = #HTMLBody + #xml + '</table></body></html>'+'<font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#333333"><p><br />Thanks,<br />My name here<p><p>'
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#exclude_query_output = 1,
#query_result_header = 0,
#profile_name = 'myprofilename',
#recipients = 'myemail#email.com',
#subject = #subject1,
#query = 'SET NOCOUNT ON; select * from [mytablehere]; SET NOCOUNT OFF;',
#body_format = 'HTML',
#body = #htmlbody
--end
Here is what is at the bottom of the email:
Files Imported 0 Total Clean Records Imported 0 Emails Successfully Sent 0 Emails Queued or Retried to Send 0 Emails Failed 0 Number of Emails Exported for Manual Send due to No Data 0
This the exact text that is the HTML formatted table I have right above it. It looks great in the table but I'm getting these results which is the exact query in text and it shouldn't be there because it's formatted in the table above.
Any suggestions would be awesome. Also this is not the full HTML but you get the idea.
Remove the #query parameter from the dbo.sp_send_dbmail call.
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#exclude_query_output = 1,
#query_result_header = 0,
#profile_name = 'myprofilename',
#recipients = 'myemail#email.com',
#subject = #subject1,
#body_format = 'HTML',
#body = #htmlbody

using select in #recipients in sp_send_dbmail

I am using a sp_send_dbmail in a procedure. I execute it 4 times with different countries.
exec pr_drop_out_addresses #country='NO'
exec pr_drop_out_addresses #country='SE'
exec pr_drop_out_addresses #country='FI'
exec pr_drop_out_addresses #country='DK'
For each exec I would like to send the mail to set og receipients. They are different for each country. I try to solve it with a declare #recipients, but I get problems with the quotes. The code is like this. Any suggestions how to bypass the problem?
declare #country varchar (10)
set #country='SE'
declare #recipients nvarchar(500)='''' +select CASE when #country='NO' then 'xxxx#xxx' when #country='SE' then 'yyy#xxxx' END+'''';
declare #subject nvarchar(255) = 'Adresser fra ' + #country;
declare #query_attachment_filename nvarchar(255) = 'Adresser_for_'+#country +'_'+convert(varchar(10),getdate(),121) +'.csv';
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'VNPSQL email',
#recipients = #recipients,
#query = 'SELECT * FROM NSGstatistikk_dev.dbo.test',
#subject = #subject,
#attach_query_result_as_file=1,
#query_attachment_filename = #query_attachment_filename,
#query_result_separator = ';',
#query_result_no_padding = 1;
You are using incorrect syntax:
Use:
SELECT #recipients ='''' + CASE when #country='NO' then 'xxxx#xxx' when #country='SE' then 'yyy#xxxx' END+'''';
also, quotes are not required at all:
SELECT #recipients = CASE when #country='NO' then 'xxxx#xxx' when #country='SE' then 'yyy#xxxx' END;
