Make sure you have the DB Mail console running and you have configured the database connection and the appropriate email interface. : how does this work. I have downloaded the trial version. Installed it. : created the send_mail function in the system user and created a public : profile. Also tested as per the select statement what is given alongwith : the software, and it returned '0' zero. : I had tried : SELECT send_mail('nthakkar@saberconsulting.com', : 'Test message', : 'DB Mail has been successfully installed', : 'nthakkar@saberconsulting.com' ) : FROM dual : and it returned zero. Now I was expecting that it would send a mail to : "nthakkar@saberconsulting.com" as it had asked in the DB Mail : configuration for the SMTP server and it had been configured as well. : BUT it didnt send the mail to my email addr!!!! : Could anybody clarify its working methodology. Like would it send a mail from : the Database to my email account or IT WOULD JUST CREATE A PIPE IN THE : DATABASE WHICH CAN BE READ ONLY USING THE DBMS_PIPE PACKAGE??! : Thanks : Nitin Thakkar : nthakkar@saberconsulting.com
