How to send message through sql with an image - sql

In my SQL, I already created profile & account.
I also know how to send the message though code :
USE msdb
GO
EXEC sp_send_dbmail #profile_name='yourprofilename',
#recipients='test#Example.com',
#subject='Test message',
#body='This is the body of the test message.
Congrates Database Mail Received By you Successfully.'
** Above is an example
However, I was wondering how can I insert an image into the message.

SQL Server job error on email notification

I have configured a database email, operators, and such on my SQL managed instance, to receive an email when a job fails.
In the email, we get something like this "The yyy_job failed on step 3".
But my question is... Is there a way to add the error message on the body of the email? I've been searching for this, but can't fine a suitable answer.
Thank you in advance
As far as I know there's no way to add further details to the email notifications when a job fails.
The only way is to implement your own notification process.
https://www.sqlshack.com/reporting-and-alerting-on-job-failure-in-sql-server/
We have a similar set up. We have a SQL Server Agent job that consists of several steps.
I configured it in such a way that we receive notification email when the job starts and another email when it finishes. There are two versions of the final email - one for success, another for failure.
At the end of the job there are two final steps called "Email OK" and "Email FAIL". Note how each of the steps have their "On Success" and "On Failure" configured.
This is how "Email OK" and "Email FAIL" steps look like in our case:
In my case I simply have different subjects of the emails, so it is easy to filter in the email client.
You can write any extra T-SQL code to execute a query against msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory and include the relevant result into the email.
I will not write a complete query here, but I imagine it would look similar to my sketch below. If you need help with that, ask another question.
This is how you can use msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail to include the result of some query into the email text:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'ABC'
,#recipients = 'abc#example.com'
,#subject = 'Some subject line'
,#body = #VarBody
,#body_format = 'TEXT'
,#importance = 'NORMAL'
,#sensitivity = 'NORMAL'
,#query = N'
-- show latest entry in the log for your job
SELECT TOP(1)
message, ...
FROM
msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory
WHERE
job_id = ''your job ID''
ORDER BY
instance_id DESC;
'
,#execute_query_database = 'msdb'
;
Have a look at the documentation for a list of parameters for sp_send_dbmail. Example above inlines the query result. You can also attach it as a separate file.

Database Mail not sending

I'm trying to send email using the DatabaseMail on SQL Server 2008; I can see my emails sitting in the msdb.dbo.sysmail_unsentitems
But they just sit there and I get no error messages.
I've checked and I have rights to use the DatabaseMail by using the following:
EXEC msdb.sys.sp_helprolemember 'DatabaseMailUserRole';
And I tried running
EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_queue_sp #queue_type = 'mail';
which shows the length as the number of emails I've tried to send, but the Status is showing as Inactive.
Am I missing something else?

SQL server mail function sp_send_cdontsmail

i wrote a procedure in which i tried to send mail using below command.
EXEC Sp_send_cdontsmail 'from','to','Test','TEST DATA'
After executing its showing "Command(s) completed successfully."
but i am not getting any mail.please help me on this.
You need to configure Database Mail and then use sp_send_dbmail to send mail. This is a supported procedure, part of the SQL Server.
PS. I am aware that out there some code sample circulates that advocates something along the lines of:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_send_cdontsmail]
...
EXEC #hr = master..sp_OACreate 'CDONTS.NewMail', #MailID OUT
EXEC #hr = master..sp_OASetProperty #MailID, 'From',#From
EXEC #hr = master..sp_OASetProperty #MailID, 'Body', #Body
...
This is horrible code. As one can easily see there is absolutely 0 (zero, nada, zip) error checking in this code. Any failure will be reported as 'success'. COM interop will not raise T-SQL notification messages, is all in the HRESULT, which goes unchecked. Steer away from such code.

sql db mail problem while sending in bulk

I am using db mail(sql server 2005) to send bulk email(>2000).
The code tat i use is,
exec msdb..sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'My Profile',
#recipients = 'raghav.cinch#gmail.com',
#subject = 'test',
#body = 'test',
#body_format = 'HTML'
If i send few emails(less than 100), all emails are sent successfully. But only bulk emails give me error.
The error I get is,
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 8 (2011-09-27T21:29:17). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Unable to send to all recipients.).
)
The error comes after 100 or 105 mails. The email addresses are correct and if i sent in cycles of 100, all mails are sent successfully.
I believe it should be some configuration settings tat need to be tweaked. Could someone pls help me in fixing it..
Thanks in advance.
Changed the iis6 settings, max queue length for the smtp server and this worked like charm.

SQL Server 2005 Asnyc stored procedure

I am currently having problems calling a stored procedure async from within a insert-update-trigger. For this I m using the service broker.
--message type
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE [TheMessage] VALIDATION = NONE
--contract
CREATE CONTRACT [TheContract] ([TheMessage] SENT BY ANY);
--queue
CREATE QUEUE [TheQueue] WITH ACTIVATION
(STATUS = ON, MAX_QUEUE_READERS = 1,
PROCEDURE_NAME = TheStoreProcedure,
EXECUTE AS OWNER);
--service
CREATE SERVICE [TheService] ON QUEUE [TheQueue] ([TheContract]);
Within the trigger:
DECLARE #Handle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION #Handle
FROM SERVICE [TheService]
TO SERVICE 'TheService'
ON CONTRACT [TheContract]
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
SEND ON CONVERSATION #Handle
MESSAGE TYPE [TheMessage](N'some data');
Within the stored procedure:
DECLARE #Handle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
DECLARE #MessageType SYSNAME;
RECEIVE TOP (1)
#Handle = conversation_handle,
#MessageType = message_type_name
FROM [TheQueue];
IF(#Handle IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
-- some statements
END
This setup doesn't seem to work. The trigger does not throw any errors so I assume the message is queued. But the receive within the stored doesn't seem to work. None of my statements are being executed.
Check if the message isn't retained in sys.transmission_queue. Transmission_status column should explain why the message isn't delivered.
Check if the message is in the queue: SELECT ... FROM [TheQueue]. If the message is there and the procedure didn't activate check the queue's is_receive_enabled status in sys.service_queues. If the queue is disabled, you probably rolled back 5 receives in a row during testing and triggered the poison message mechanism.
If the queue is enabled, check the queue monitors status, see Understanding Queue Monitors.
If the message is neither in the queue nor in transmission queue, it must been consumed by the activated procedure. Verify your ERRORLOG for any error output. Disable activation, send a message again, then run the procedure manually from an SSMS query window see if you get any error message.
Mae sure your activated procedure does not fall into the traps of the EXECUTE AS context. See Why does feature … not work under activation? and Call a procedure in another database from an activated procedure
Ok, thanks for your answers, I fixed it.
The problem was that the service broker was disabled..
