Hi guys,

I need to send data (mail it ) which is stored in my Oracle Database through PL/SQL in HTML table format.

1. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?
2. If YES, Can you PLEASE throw some light on it ?

I written another solution some weeks ago, by using XMLQUERY and XSLT tranformations from XML to HTML, which might be of interest:

DECLARE
    ctxh           DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
    queryresult    XMLTYPE;
    xslt_tranfsorm XMLTYPE;
BEGIN

    -- SQL Query :
    ctxh        := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext
           ('select TABLE_NAME,
                    OWNER,
                    INITIAL_EXTENT
               from all_tables
              where rownum < 21');

    -- XSLT Transformation to HTML :
    xslt_tranfsorm := NEW XMLTYPE('
        <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
          <xsl:template match="/ROWSET">
            <table>
              <tr>
                <th>Table</th>
                <th>Owner</th>
                <th>Initial Extends</th>
              </tr>
              <xsl:for-each select="ROW">
                <tr>
                  <td style="text-align:left;">  <xsl:value-of select="TABLE_NAME"/>     </td>
                  <td style="text-align:left;">  <xsl:value-of select="OWNER"/>          </td>
                  <td style="text-align:right;"> <xsl:value-of select="INITIAL_EXTENT"/> </td>
                </tr>
              </xsl:for-each>
            </table>
          </xsl:template>
        </xsl:stylesheet>');

    queryresult := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLType(ctxh).transform(xslt_tranfsorm);

    send_mail('Database','user@domain.org','Test Mail','
        <h3>Hello,</h3>
        <p>This is a Test</p>
        <p>Query Results : </p>
    ' || queryresult.getClobVal()
    );

END;

That piece is using this send_mail procedure for HTML Mails including a style sheet :

Thanks For A Wonderful Solution For Sending An Mail By Executing The Query.Is There Any Other Solution For This.My dbversion is Oracle10g.

And One Doubt From The Above Code Where Transform Function Exists.I Searched In Dbms_Xmlgen But Did Not Find.
Please explain this in details.
 Queryresult := Dbms_Xmlgen.Getxmltype(Ctxh).Transform(Xslt_Tranfsorm);


Regards,
Nathan

A more generalized way to do this as follows.I found it somewhere.

Hi All,

It's getting correct everything but for space it is not taking.As follows..
select  GET_HTML_REPORT('select dummy  "dummy k" from dual') from dual;


output is
"<table>
  <tr>
    <th>dummy_x0020_k</th>
    <tr>
      <td style="text-align:left;">X</td>
    </tr>
  </tr>
</table>
"


Please help me.

Regards,
Nathan

Well, when you look at the intermediate XML you see that the "dummy k" is used as a XML Tag, and spaces in XML Tags are not allowed.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
 <ROW>
  <dummy_x0020_k>X</dummy_x0020_k>
 </ROW>
</ROWSET>


So you would have to either hardcode the Table headers in the XSLT, or you could run a "replace" on the CLOB and replace _x0020_ with ' '

Replace Line
    l_mail_body := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctxh);


with
    l_mail_body := REPLACE(dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctxh),'_x0020_',' ');


in the procedure

Thank You ThomasG for your earlier contribution and this response.

But one small doubt Please have A look AT THE below two queries.

SELECT get_html_report('select count(*)total_cnt,count(decode(job,''MANAGER'',1,NULL))manager_cnt from emp')
FROM dual;

output
----
null


SELECT get_html_report('select count(*)total_cnt,sum(decode(job,''MANAGER'',1,0))manager_cnt from emp')
FROM dual;

output
-------
"<table>
  <tr>
    <th>TOTAL</th>
    <th>MANAGER_CNT</th>
    <tr>
      <td style="text-align:left;">14</td>
      <td style="text-align:left;">3</td>
    </tr>
  </tr>
</table>
"

I don't have access to the EMP tables right now, but for me both versions seem to be working.
