:Have you installed the correct DB Mail interface functions?

:There are 3 files provided with DB Mail

:db_mail_install_7.sql for Oracle 7
:db_mail_install_8.sql for Oracle 8.0.0 to 8.1.4
:db_mail_install_8i.sql for Oracle 8.1.5 and later

:The error you are getting could be a result of db_mail_install_8.sql used for :Oracle 8i database.

Well, we have Oracle version 8.0.6 for Windows NT, so I used the scripts in db_mail_install_8.sql to create DB Mail interface functions.

Do you think that it is better to use ...install_7.sql in this case (Oracle 8.0.6), because it's easy to see that the script that I used is the script indicated by SoftTree for versions 8.0.0 to 8.1.4. More thanks...

Ok, Run db_mail_install_8i.sql

The only real difference between these two scripts is PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTIONS that allows updates in functions. This is needed because of incompatible behavior of different Oracle versions.

... if you think this is correct, but is AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTIONS supported by Oracle 8.0.6 ?

In the script there is a comment beside the instrucion PRAGMA ... it says
/* Oracle 8i only e.g. Oracle 8.1.5 and later */

This is what lets me worried. Thank you, I'm going to wait your answer before changing the scripts.

Sorry, you are right, the AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTIONS pragma is not supported by Oracle 8.0.6

Are you running send_mail within a transaction?
If not, try opening transaction before running the SQL containing call to send_mail.
For example
SET TRANSACTION READ WRITE;
.... your code here containing call to send_mail;
COMMIT WORK;

I will try this. Now, we've modificated the attach_file function, in exception section. We added raise_application_error(-20001, 'Error was: ' || sqlerrm); after rollback (for when others). The error was: ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation at "SYSTEM.ATTACH_FILE", line 56

With this, I think that the Oracle directory object has not been correctly created. The instruction was:
create or replace directory ADJUNTOS as 'e:\orant\net80\admin';

... being 'e:\' a local drive in the NT Server that runs Oracle 8.0.6. The mentioned path is correct for the operating system. Is this the right way to create the Oracle directory? or do I have not to use the drive letter?

Thanks a lot...

The syntax for CREATE DIRECTORY is correct.
