SQL Conditional Alerts

Question

I am new to SQL and use Azure Data Studio for data analysis. I am trying to setup a conditional email/text alert when a column value is greater than a given value in my SQL database. I am confused how to go about this... would I use SMTP, Azure monitor, etc.?

I have looked into Azure monitor, but it seems that it is more commonly used for alerts regarding the performance of a database and not the values contained within the database.

Answer 1

It is possible to send an email message from SQL Server using the sp_send_dbmail system proc.

This is documented at Microsoft
