xp_sendmail driving me mad !
Has anyone else noticed that if you create a non-existing file as an attachment using xp_sendmail in SQL Server 2000, it does not create a copy of that file on the Hard Drive, nor does it format the attached file sensibly if you attach it as a .csv file ?
I am using the procedure below :-
CREATE PROCEDURE mailtest AS
declare @sql varchar (255)
SELECT PERSONID, FORENAME, SURNAME INTO ##TEMP FROM PERSON
SELECT @sql='SELECT * FROM ##TEMP'
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
begin
exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail
@recipients = 'itsmarkdavies@hotmail.com',
@Message = 'Test file',
@Query = @sql,
@attachments = 'C:MARKTEST.CSV',
@Attach_Results = 'True',
@Message = '',
@Subject = 'test',
@No_Header = 'True',
@Width = 500,
@Separator = ','
end
DROP TABLE ##TEMP
GO
In the example above, the file MARKTEST.CSV does not currently exist, but the procedure should create it, put it in the root of C: and e:mail it, as it did when it ran under SQL Server 6.5. However, under 2000 it now doesn`t put a copy on the Hard Drive and it formats the .csv file in a very odd manner.
