Hello All,

Can we send a email automatically if a value in a table changes using SMTP?

For example

If a value of table t1 & column c1 changes .we need to send a mail automatically .


By using UTL_SMTP we can send a mail. but i am not sure whether we can send it automatically or not.PLs guide me or provide the links that cover about sending mails from oracle automatically.

Thanks in Advance,
Suneel Reddy.R

Basically that could be done with a trigger and utl_mail or utl_smtp.

Two points to remember, though :

1) If you don't handle the errors that can happen, updates might become impossible because the mail server is down.

2) Are you really SURE you want so send a mail for every row that gets updated? How often do how many rows get updated?

Hi Thomas,

That table contains only one row .Updates are very rare for that coulumn.Let me say you the requirement that table stores the information of the application srv status.My requirement is to send a mail to support teams if primary application server is down.The application will run on secondary.My requirement is to send a mail to support teams that Appserver 1 is stopped.

This happens very rare approx once in a quarter or so.

But this is required as they have to change some schedulers if primary is down.

Is the requirement clear .
Any have i will study the links provided by you.

If you can help more .PLs.

Thanks for the reply

Regards

In that case it should work that way.

There are examples in the documentation, try them and post what you tried and the problem (the entire relevant SQL*Plus Session when applicable) in case you get stuck at some point.
