You can do this, either with specialized Software and Hardware (actually, you may not need the HW anymore), or alternatively, I beleive that there are psecialized services on the Internet that can do this for you. Don't know about cost though.

You can use Skype - they provide an API for windows development

You'll need some way of interfacing from your stored procedure to the Skype API, probably by way of an extended stored procedure.

Alternatively you could build a windows service that watches a table for updates and takes action when a new row is inserted.

Or use SSIS

Voicent has a XML gateway for doing this type of thing that I was playing with at one point in the past. Since it is XML based you could write a managed service that could be triggered through Service Broker theoretically.

http://www.voicent.com/gateway.php

I never got far with the project I was working on because it didn't make much sense in the end.

Email or SMS. I use email, which comes directly to my Palm Treo, or the other DBA's Blackberry's. I have so far been able to avoid the Blackberry assimilation at my company, but it will only be a matter of time before I have to transition.

Jonathan;
I am OK with SMS; that is what I am using now; The only problem is ring tone; when I am sleeping I want something to ring for a long time ( up to 2 min) (need to wake up); is there a way to add ring tone to my cell?

That would probably depend on your phone brand and type. I am sure your local wireless dealer could probably tell you how to configure it properly if it could be done.

Nope, sorry, my recent experience is all in text: SMS, text messages, paging, etc. I just know that voice options are out there.
