Remarks
A Database Mail profile holds any number of Database Mail accounts. Database Mail stored procedures can refer to a profile by either the profile name or the profile ID generated by this procedure. For more information about adding an account to a profile, see sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp.
The profile name and description can be changed with the stored procedure sysmail_update_profile_sp
, while the profile ID remains constant for the life of the profile.
The profile name must be unique in the SQL Server Database Engine instance or the stored procedure returns an error.
The stored procedure sysmail_add_profile_sp
is in the msdb
database and is owned by the dbo
schema. The procedure must be executed with a three-part name if the current database isn't msdb
.
Permissions
This stored procedure is owned by the db_owner role. You can grant EXECUTE
permissions for any user, but these permissions may be overridden during a SQL Server upgrade.
Examples
A. Create a new profile
The following example creates a new Database Mail profile named AdventureWorks Administrator
.
EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp
@profile_name = 'AdventureWorks Administrator',
@description = 'Profile used for administrative mail.';
B. Create a new profile, saving the profile ID in a variable
The following example creates a new Database Mail profile named AdventureWorks Administrator
. The example stores the profile ID number in the variable @profileId
and returns a result set containing the profile ID number for the new profile.
DECLARE @profileId INT;
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp
@profile_name = 'AdventureWorks Administrator',
@description = 'Profile used for administrative mail.',
@profile_id = @profileId OUTPUT;
SELECT @profileId;
