Database mail is pretty handy, and I send emails with it, but email is so last century, as I'm told, and I'm so behind the times:cool:
How to go about texting the customer, or maybe twittering that he has a reservation coming up?

Certainly possible with CLR, or various other solutions. I'd probably take something like that outside the database, though. Use an external service.

Hmm. That's interesting, though not quite...
Maybe I just want to give the customers the option of having it text them...
Looks like what I really want is to send SMS messages. I've been wandering wikipedia rather aimlessly.

Oh. I get it... The users can specify their phone number and carrier as an email address and then database mail will work.

Scroll down about 1/2 way.
