Add E-Mail Job to SQL Server


This script helps start you off to learning how to automate some of your processes with SQL . For this example, I have chosen to send Email through SQL Server using vbScript. Messages are pulled from a table and deleted once they are sent. You need to create a table in the master database called "Email" and assign the fields "To", "From", "Subject" and "Body". The script will do the rest. If you "SA" account has a password, you will need to modify the script to relflect those changes.

You may wish to open SQL Enterprise Manger and find the
"Management" folder under your database. Find "SQL Server Agent" with
a child node called "Jobs". A new job called "SendMailJob" should be
present.
