Outlook

Folks,
Can you point me to where I can look for more info to complete this task.
There is a proprietary app running with SQL 2000 as backend. Everynight the
app put DB in single user mode and runs DBCC itself to check data. That
runs well except few times it failed to get exclusive login in order to
clear single user mode. It causes the app fails to open. I think I may
want to run a script at my computer querying the DB and notify someone by
using Outlook on my computer. Is there any info that can tell me how to
open Outlook from in inside sql script?
Thanks,
Hi,
Thanks for your post.
From your descriptions, I understood that you would like to notify the
logon customer by email but you cannot configure your SQL Profile. Correct
me if I was wrong.
Based on my scope, You can use other methods to send Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) e-mail directly from SQL Server. For example, you can use
Collaboration Data Objects for NT Server (CDONTS) or Collaboration Data
Objects for Windows 2000 (CDOSYS) in combination with the sp_OA SQL Server
OLE Automation stored procedures. See the following documents for more
detailed information

Secondly, http://www.sqldev.net/ provides a SMTP based SQL Mail solution
for sending MIME based email over SMTP, implemented as an Extended Stored
Procedure.

Outlook approach.

|||It works great for me. However is there any pros or cons of sending mail
out using CDOSYS such as security?

It's great to hear that my suggestion is suitable for you.
Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) for Microsoft? Windows? 2000 (Cdosys.dll),
which implements the 2.0 version of the Collaboration Data Objects API
specification, is a Component Object Model (COM) component designed to
simplify writing programs that create or manipulate Internet messages. You
could ask this exchange newsgroup, where I think will be more professional
answers there.
IMO, CDOSYS requires relatively high level of development instead of
xp_sendmail do. I would like to suggest upgrading to the lastest updates,
Windows 2000 SP4 and Office 2000 SP3 (if you had that Office installed).
See the documents below for detailed information about why these updates
are important
OL2000: Information About the CDO E-mail Security Update

OFF2000: How to Update an Administrative Installation with the Outlook CDO
Security Update

Thank you for your patience and corperation. If you have any questions or
