Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Emailing Query Results?
Sorry if this posting is a bit long winded but some people might find it useful.
Cheers,

I use this piece of code to send simple emails to people - obviously the message can be changed to reflect simple query results.
create or replace procedure system.send_mail (p_recipient in varchar2, p_subject in varchar2, p_message in varchar2) as crlf varchar2(2):= utl_tcp.crlf; l_mailhost varchar2(255) := '<your mailhoust>' ;l_mail_conn utl_smtp.connection ;
l_header:= 'Date: '||to_char(sysdate,'dd Mon yy hh24:mi:ss')||crlf|| 'From: anybody_at_anywhere'||crlf|| 'Subject: '||p_subject||crlf|| 'To: '||p_recipient; utl_smtp.helo(l_mail_conn,l_mailhost); utl_smtp.mail(l_mail_conn,'anybody_at_anywhere'); utl_smtp.rcpt(l_mail_conn,p_recipient); utl_smtp.open_data(l_mail_conn); utl_smtp.write_data(l_mail_conn,l_header); utl_smtp.write_data(l_mail_conn,crlf||p_message);utl_smtp.close_data(l_mail_conn);
I also wrote this (with a lot of help from ask tom!) about 18 months ago when I needed to send BLOBS as attachments. I seem to remember having to download and instal the Java mail client from Sun
create or replace and compile
java source named "mail"
as
import java.io.*; import java.sql.*; import java.util.Properties; import java.util.Date; import javax.activation.*;
static String dftMime = "application/octet-stream"; static String dftName = "filename.dat";
public static oracle.sql.NUMBER
send(String from,
oracle.sql.ARRAY tolist, String subject, String body, String SMTPHost, oracle.sql.BLOB attachmentData, String attachmentType, String attachmentFileName) { int rc = 0; try
{
Properties props = System.getProperties(); props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTPHost); Message msg = new MimeMessage(Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null)); msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from)); ResultSet to = tolist.getResultSet(); for(int i = 0; i < tolist.length();i++) { to.next(); STRUCT maillist = (STRUCT)to.getObject(2); Object[] mlist = maillist.getAttributes(); String mtype = (String)mlist[0]; String address = (String)mlist[1]; if (mtype.equals("TO")) msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(address,false)); else if (mtype.equals("CC")) msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(address,false)); else if (mtype.equals("BCC")) msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(address,false)); } if ( subject != null && subject.length() > 0 ) msg.setSubject(subject); else msg.setSubject("(no subject)"); msg.setSentDate(new Date()); if (attachmentData != null) { MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart(); mbp1.setText((body != null ? body : "")); mbp1.setDisposition(Part.INLINE); MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart(); String type = (attachmentType != null ? attachmentType : dftMime); String fileName = (attachmentFileName != null ? attachmentFileName : dftName); mbp2.setDisposition(Part.ATTACHMENT); mbp2.setFileName(fileName); mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new BLOBDataSource(attachmentData, type)) ); MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart(); mp.addBodyPart(mbp1); mp.addBodyPart(mbp2); msg.setContent(mp); } else
{
msg.setText((body != null ? body : "")); } Transport.send(msg); rc = 1;
e.printStackTrace(); rc = 0;
return new oracle.sql.NUMBER(rc);
}
}
// Nested class that implements a DataSource. static class BLOBDataSource implements DataSource {

create type mail_to as object (address varchar2(100), type varchar2(2)); create or replace type mlist as table of mail_to;
create or replace function send(p_from in varchar2, p_to in mlist, p_subject in varchar2, p_body in varchar2, p_smtp_host in varchar2, p_attachment_data in blob, p_attachment_type in varchar2, p_attachment_file_name in varchar2)return number
oracle.sql.ARRAY, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, oracle.sql.BLOB, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)return oracle.sql.NUMBER';
You mail also need some java priviliges along the lines of,
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission(
grantee => '<user>', permission_type => 'java.util.PropertyPermission', permission_name => '*', permission_action => 'read,write' ); dbms_java.grant_permission( grantee => '<user>', permission_type => 'java.net.SocketPermission', permission_name => '*', permission_action => 'connect,resolve' );
but this is stretching my memory a bit . I'm sure if you do a search for "java" + "email" on ask tom you should find the page I got most of this from
