Using Xp_sendmail With the Recipients Generated From a Query

  • Article

Xp_sendmail is a great utility that SQL Server provides in order to e-mail messages directly from SQL Server, by using a valid MAPI profile. However, its syntax is rather stringent. In this article by Kunal Das, he shows you how to send messages to a list of recipients generated by a query dynamically in T-SQL.

Question of the Day

The string_agg function

We create the following table and then insert some records in it:

create table t1 (
   id int primary key,
   category char(1) not null,
   product varchar(50)
);

insert into t1 values
(1, 'A', 'Product 1'),
(2, 'A', 'Product 2'),
(3, 'A', 'Product 3'),
(4, 'B', 'Product 4'),
(5, 'B', 'Product 5');
What happens if we execute the following query in both Sql Server and PostgreSQL?
select id, 
category, 
string_agg(product, ';')
                 over (partition by category order by id
                 rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as stragg
from t1;
