Re: Oracle Portal and email

Hi Toby,

You can send emails from the database using sys.utl_smtp. You can base a form on this procedure or better yet base a form on a temporary table and execute the mail procedure in the ON_SUCCES section. That way the user of the form doesn't have top wait until the email is send.
