Fwd: RE: Mailing frm Oracle

one caution:

If you're using Oracle 8.1.x on NT (NT4 - W2K) you will have some serious issues with killing dba_jobs. okay - its very easy to kill a dbms_job. shutdown abort takes care of it - no problem. I had a dbms_job emptying a mail queue that opened 3976 connections to a Sendmail server last night - it stopped at port 4999 (testing code). The mail server didn't even blink.

I could not kill a dbms_job - as it deferred the kill session. 7.3 use to have a parameter that allowed you to not keep the connection alive.
That parameter isn't available in 8.1.6.

So once again, less ways to get at the OS - less ways to maintain processes. If you actually have users that don't want to have their instance shutdown, better test that code very well ...

On 8.1.6+ you can use UTL_SMTP.
