I am trying to send a simple HTML email thru SQL stored procedure.
Is it possible adding a image such as company logo for the email result?
This is a part of stored procedure.

I want to count the resulting rows and assign it to a variable. How can that be achieved?
Just add a count query:
DECLARE #tableHTML NVARCHAR(MAX), #Count int;
SELECT #tableHTML =
N'<H1>Report Heading</H1>' +
N'<table border="1">' +
N'<th>Check Number</th>' +
N'<th>Last Operator Date</th>' +

'<tr>' +
CAST ( ( SELECT td = S.CHK_NUM, '',
td = S.LAST_OPER_ID, '',
td = S.LAST_TIMESTMP, '',
td = S.RUN_DT, '',
td = ISNULL(S.RE_ISSUE_CHK_NUM,-1), '',
td = ISNULL(S.ERR_DESC,'<null>'), ''
FROM STAGNG_CDDP_ERR_RCD S
FOR XML PATH('tr'), TYPE
) AS NVARCHAR(MAX) ) +
N'</table>'
, #Count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM STAGNG_CDDP_ERR_RCD);
PRINT #Count;
PRINT #tableHTML;
This is a follow-up question after a comment left on my last question/answer.
I have this code a HTML table but the first column has no name, which means the headings don't line up properly. This is because I'm using this syntax to identify even/odd rows - cast((select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by id) % 2 as 'td',
How can I set the heading for the first column?

Your HTML is stronger than mine, but this should work and allow you to insert your styling where appropriate (if still needed).
select #body =
cast((select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by id) % 2 as 'td',
'',
isnull(col1,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col2,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col3,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col4,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col5,'') as 'td'
from #tableUpdate
where notificationType = 'NEWDATE'
order by clname
for XML path('tr'), elements) as nvarchar(max))
set #tableHTML = '<html>
<body>
<header>
<H3>This would be your header... maybey #textTitle information?</H3>
<P>Insert some stuff here if you want</P>
</header>
<table border = 1>
<tr>
<th>IDCol</th>

select #tableHTML = #tableHTML + isnull(#body,'') + '</table></body></html>'
I am sending a HTML email that contains some rows from a table. I am using a temporary table #tableupdate which definitely has data in it when I run the script.
Everything runs fine and I get the email, it just has no content whatsoever. When I view the source of the email it's blank. Can anyone see where I have gone wrong?
To help diagnose the problem, I've been outputting the contents of the variable containing all the HTML in it at various points and it seems to be empty after this part:
select #tableHTML = #tableHTML + #body
+ '</table></div></body></html>'
#body doesn't seem to populate at all. I'm just not sure what to change to make it work.
The relevant piece of code, including comments to show where the data disappears:
select * from #tableupdate --rows are returned
declare #emailSubject varchar(100),
#textTitle varchar(100),
#tableHTML nvarchar(max)
select #textTitle = 'Test table'
set #tableHTML = '<html><head><style>' +
'td {border: solid black 1px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;padding-top:1px;padding-bottom:1px;font-size:11pt;} ' +
'</style></head><body>'
+ '<div style="margin-top:20px; margin-left:5px; margin-bottom:15px; font-weight:bold; font-size:1.3em; font-family:tahoma;">' +
#textTitle + '</div>'
+ '<div style="margin-left:50px; font-family:tahoma;"><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>' +
'<tr bgcolor=#4b6c9e>'
+ '<td align=center><font face="calibri" color=White><b>Col1</b></font></td>'
+ '<td align=center><font face="calibri" color=White><b>Col2</b></font></td>'
+ '<td align=center><font face="calibri" color=White><b>Col3</b></font></td>'
+ '<td align=center><font face="calibri" color=White><b>Col4</b></font></td>'
+ '<td align=center><font face="calibri" color=White><b>Col5</b></font></td>'
+
'</tr>'
select #tablehtml --has the correct value at this point
select #body =
(
select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by id) % 2 as TRRow,
td = col1,
td = col2,
td = col3,
td = col4,
td = col5
from #tableUpdate
where notificationType = 'NEWDATE'
order by clname
for XML raw('tr'), elements
)
select #body --empty?!
set #body = REPLACE(#body, '<td>', '<td align=center><font face="tahoma">')
set #body = REPLACE(#body, '</td>', '</font></td>')
set #body = REPLACE(#body, '_x0020_', space(1))
set #body = Replace(#body, '_x003D_', '=')
set #body = Replace(#body, '<tr><TRRow>0</TRRow>', '<tr bgcolor=#F8F8FD>')
set #body = Replace(#body, '<tr><TRRow>1</TRRow>', '<tr bgcolor=#EEEEF4>')
set #body = Replace(#body, '<TRRow>0</TRRow>', '')
select #body --still empty
select #tableHTML = #tableHTML + #body
+ '</table></div></body></html>'
select #tablehtml --now empty!
select #tableHTML = '<div style="color:Black; font-size:11pt; font-family:tahoma; width:100px;">' + #tableHTML + '</div>'
select #tableHTML --still empty
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = #databaseMailProfileName,
#body = #tableHTML,
#body_format ='HTML',
#recipients = 'me#me.com',
#subject = 'Subject' ;
If I simply pass select * from #tableupdate or similar to the email, it sends me the data in a not very nice format.
The issue is the query below, returns NULL.
select #body =
(
select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by id) % 2 as TRRow,
td = col1,
td = col2,
td = col3,
td = col4,
td = col5
from #tableUpdate
where notificationType = 'NEWDATE'
order by clname
for XML raw('tr'), elements
)
Focus on this single query, and you will solve your issue. Without sample data of #tableUpdate, we can't solve your problem. However, since #body is NULL, concatenating anything to it will also yield NULL.
For example, select 1 + null, 'this string' + null will return two NULLs.
Thus, all of these set operators will still yield NULL for #body
set #body = REPLACE(#body, '<td>', '<td align=center><font face="tahoma">')
set #body = REPLACE(#body, '</td>', '</font></td>')
set #body = REPLACE(#body, '_x0020_', space(1))
set #body = Replace(#body, '_x003D_', '=')
set #body = Replace(#body, '<tr><TRRow>0</TRRow>', '<tr bgcolor=#F8F8FD>')
set #body = Replace(#body, '<tr><TRRow>1</TRRow>', '<tr bgcolor=#EEEEF4>')
set #body = Replace(#body, '<TRRow>0</TRRow>', '')
select #body --still empty
Then, you set #tableHTML to NULL by concatenating it with #body because #body IS NULL
select #tableHTML = #tableHTML + #body
+ '</table></div></body></html>'
Which leaves #tableHTML and #body with the value of NULL.
A stab at fixing this, since you are building a table, would be to set #body like so:
select #body =
cast((select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by id) % 2 as 'td',
'',
isnull(col1,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col2,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col3,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col4,'') as 'td',
'',
isnull(col5,'') as 'td'
from #tableUpdate
where notificationType = 'NEWDATE'
order by clname
for XML path('tr'), elements) as nvarchar(max))
I am using SQL+HTML script to send an email containing top 5 columns of a table mytable. Currently, I have all the column titles aligned centrally and each column entries aligned to the right using [th] and [td] repsectively. How can I make entries in Vendor column left aligned while keeping everything else the same?

Did you try this:

or this:

I'm having a problem sending a HTML formatted email from SQL server.
With the following section of code I get a "Line 1, incorrect syntax near '<'" error.
SET #tableHTML =
'<H1>Progress Report</H1>' +
'<table border="1">' +
'<tr>' +
'<th>Project Name</th>' +
'<th>Platform</th>' +
'<th>Due By</th>' +
'<th>Current Status</th>' +
'<th>Current State</th>' +
'</tr>' +
CAST (
(
SELECT
td = [Project Name], ' ',
td = Platform, ' ',
td = [Due By], ' ',
td = [Current Status], ' ',
td = [Current State], ' '
FROM [dbo].[table_name]
ORDER BY [Current Status] DESC
FOR XML PATH('tr'), TYPE
) AS NVARCHAR(MAX) ) +
'</table>' ;
I cant seem to pin it to anything in particular? Any Idea's?
Thanks
Update 1:
Ok I've run the code in a debug session and have checked the contents of #tableHTML, the contents looks fine and it gets populated with the expected data from my Table.
Meaning the errors coming in from somewhere else, so I've copied the whole query this time.
DECLARE #tableHTML NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #tableHTML =
'<h1>Progress Report</h1>' +
'<table border="1">' +
'<tr>' +
'<th>Project Name</th>' +
'<th>Platform</th>' +
'<th>Due By</th>' +
'<th>Current Status</th>' +
'<th>Current State</th>' +
'</tr>' +
CAST
(
(
SELECT
td = [Project Name], '',
td = Platform, '',
td = [Due By], '',
td = [Current Status], '',
td = [Current State], ''
FROM [dbo].[table_name]
ORDER BY [Current Status] DESC
FOR XML PATH('tr'), TYPE
) AS NVARCHAR(MAX) ) +
'</table>';
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'db_mail_account',
#recipients = 'example#example.com',
#subject = 'Daily Project Tracking Report',
#query = #tableHTML,

Thanks again.
It looks like you want #tableHTML to be the body of the email, but you're passing it in as #query, which has to contain valid SQL, hence the error.
Try using #body instead:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#profile_name = 'db_mail_account',
#recipients = 'example#example.com',
#subject = 'Daily Project Tracking Report',
#body = #tableHTML,
#body_format = 'HTML';
