Answer 1

check this thread on asktom about sending emails (from version 8i+): "Sending e-mail! -- Oracle 8i specific response"

In version 9i, you have several options:

• using PL/SQL and the UTL_SMTP package
• using a java procedure

The UTL_SMTP option would be the easiest to setup but some features (such as attaching files) may require a bit more work and some knowledge of SMTP. See MikeyByCrikey's answer for a good example.

If you plan to upgrade, APEX has some mail utility (APEX_MAIL) available for version 10g+.
