I have scenario

Daily i run a sql job to apply a new updates to one table - this job will create one text file daily - text file contains all new updates

I can send a mail to client that job is successfully completed - now i need to send him a text file as a attachment

Is there any way to send attachment through GUI (SQL Server Job setting)

I cann't run the script 

EXEC sp_send_dbmail

I googled for this scenario but no information from GUI END - i could find from only with scripts

  • Is it due to permissions that you cannot use EXEC sp_send_dbmail? – Carol Baker West Mar 12 '13 at 10:10
  • Yes and with the running same job i need to send mail confirmation and attachment – sairam Mar 12 '13 at 10:28

    There is no way to send attachment through GUI. If you dont have permissions to execute the sp_send_dbmail then you have to ask your DBA or sysadmin to grant you that permission. – Kin Shah Apr 11 '13 at 13:22

I was looking of for the same issue myself, and gave up. It seems that attachments can only be sent using TSQL, such as this

EXEC sp_send_dbmail 
  @profile_name='MailProfile',
  @recipients='me@gmail.com',
  @subject='TestEmail',
  @body='I'm sending you this document...',
  @file_attachments='D:\TEST\file.doc'

  • Thanks for ur answer ,I know it can be done through scripts but i cann't use "EXEC sp_send_dbmail " – sairam Mar 12 '13 at 10:33
  • @CarolBakerWest -- the script will throw syntax error as the '@body' should have 2 quotes ==> @body='I''m sending you this document...' – Kin Shah Apr 11 '13 at 13:24
