SQL Server中的电子邮件通知

Question

I have a stored procedure which has 2 parameters @LastUpdateDate and @CurrentDate I calculate the difference between these two days and store it in another variable called Sub, like this

declare @sub int
select @sub = (datediff(dd,@LastUpdate,@CurrentDate))

If the value of Sub is greater than 0, I want to send an email notification to few people that the cube has not been refreshed since last day.

Can any one tel me how I can achieve this ? I tried sqldbmail, but that option didn't work

Answer 1

I'm not sure about sqldbmail. The standard would be to use sp_send_dbmail .

It requires some set up which is discussed in the accepted answer to How to send email from SQL Server? as Leo commented.

Answer 2

Personally I'm a fan of [ab]using SQL Agent for this - assuming that this is a scheduled check and I'm only contacting SQL-admin-bods...

I would set up a job with a single T-SQL step with code along the lines of:

EXEC your_sproc 'etc', 'etc';

IF DateDiff(dd, @LastUpdate, @CurrentDate) > 0
  BEGIN
    RAISERROR ('Cube not refreshed', 18, 1);
  END
;

Then I would set a notification email when the job fails
