If it turns out to not be setup and no one wants to set it up, you don't actually need to set it up to send email from T-SQL. There's a trick to it. Lemme know if you need that trick.

You can see the current database mail configuration by using the following system functions

EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_configure_sp;

EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_account_sp;

EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_profile_sp;

EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_profileaccount_sp;

EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_principalprofile_sp;

Yes I need the trick

mw_sql_developer SSCoach Points: 19443 More actions · Answer 5

I believe this must be a permissions issue right ?

Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 1

The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_send_dbmail', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'.

Also on another server/database I get this .....

Msg 14636, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 112

No global profile is configured. Specify a profile name in the @profile_name parameter.

I beleive mail is not set up here .. right ?

1. you need to give permissions to the user that is attempting to send the mail. This is in the MSDB database, role "DatabaseMailUserRole"

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_addrolemember @rolename = 'DatabaseMailUserRole' ,@membername = '<user or role name>';

2. You need to configure Database Mail, or you don't have the name of the profile correct. SQL can now send mails under several profiles.

In SSMS go to:

Management, Database Mail. Right mouse click and "Configure Database Mail". from here you can also see configured profiles (if you have any on that server)

check that you didn't check db_denydatareader DB role

John: Where exactly do you want me to check for that "..deny'''

Msg 14636, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 112
No global profile is configured. Specify a profile name in the @profile_name parameter.

This error occurred because none of the database mail profiles you created were set to be the "Global Profile"

John: Where exactly do you want me to check for that "..deny'''

In SSMS - under Databases >>mydatabase >>Security >>Users >>myusername, right click the username, select properties under database role membership “db_denydatareader”

db_denydatareader is a database role, you will find it in <dbname>, Security, Users, <username>, Membership.

you can actually get to it a number of ways. I think what John is suggesting is that you don't have permissions to the data - but this is not the error message you got so I think this is a red herring
