IMHO it's best not to use an RDBMS as a mail client. Yes, I know it can be done and that Oracle includes the SMTP packages, but why bother with them when a standard mail client is so much simpler to use?

Query the database, save the output to a file, and use a command line mail client to send it.

What O/S are you using?
