DBEmail sending mail inspite of failing condition

  • The below code is sending an empty email if the condition fails. But I should not receive an email if the condition fails.Should only receive an email if there are records in this table : #tlogtables

    No records no email is what needs to happen. Thanks

    SET NOCOUNT ON

    DECLARE @threshold INT = 99

    DECLARE @body nvarchar(max)

    CREATE TABLE #tlogtables

    (

    databaseName sysname,

    logSize DECIMAL (18, 5),

    logUsed DECIMAL (18, 5),

    status INT

    )

    INSERT INTO #tlogtables

    EXECUTE ('DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE)')

    -- step_3: get T-logs exceeding threshold size for a specific database

    SELECT databaseName,

    logSize,

    logUsed,

    status

    FROM #tlogtables

    WHERE logUsed >= (@threshold) --AND databaseName in ('dbMaintenance','ReportServerTempDB')

    SET @body = N'

    <style type=''text/css''>

    TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;background-color: #E8E8E8; border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}

    TH{color:black; border-width: 1px;font-size: 11px; padding: 3px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}

    TD{color:black; border-width: 1px;font-size: 11px; padding: 3px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}

    </style>' +

    N'

    N'<table>' +

    CAST((select databaseName AS 'td','', logSize AS 'td','', logUsed AS 'td','',

    status AS 'td',''

    FROM #tlogtables

    WHERE logUsed >= (@threshold) --AND databaseName in ('dbMaintenance','ReportServerTempDB')

    FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) +

    N'</table>'

    IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tlogtables) > 0

    BEGIN

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name = 'Default',

    @recipients = 'abc@oracle.com',

    @subject = 'Low Log Space Report',

    @body = @body,

    @body_format ='HTML',

    @importance = 'High'

    END

    DROP TABLE #tlogtables

    SET NOCOUNT OFF

  • You need to put a count or if exists condition around the mail part.  So that if there’s no rows which match the select used to generate the html it doesn’t send the mail.

    The current one just checks if the table is not empty but you will always have rows due to the system dbs etc.

  • I tried this ..... but it still sends email if there are no records...

    IF @@rowcount > 0

    --IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tlogtables) > 0

    BEGIN

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name = 'Default',

     

    Also tried this...

    IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tlogtables) > 0

    BEGIN

    SET @Cnt=1

    END

    IF @Cnt=1

    BEGIN

    --IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tlogtables) > 0

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail

    .....

    Still get an email if there are no records..

  • Oh boy.

    Seriously the logic will always give you rows.

    If you check @@ROWCOUNT after setting @BODY you will have a rowcount of 1

    If you check COUNT(*) from #temp table you will always have rows.

    Of check if @body is populated with some value before sending the mail

    The logic you're imploring isn't valid, you need to work on fixing the IF logic.

    Examples would be

    You need to put your logic check into the COUNT, to see if there is any rows which match the check

    IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tlogtables WHERE logused >= @threashold) > 0

    BEGIN

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name = 'Default',

    @recipients = 'abc@oracle.com',

    @subject = 'Low Log Space Report',

    @body = @body,

    @body_format ='HTML',

    @importance = 'High'

    END

    DROP TABLE #tlogtables

    SET NOCOUNT OFF

     

     

    Even better would be to not even bother setting @body unless there was something to set it too, so move the check above the set @body

    SET NOCOUNT ON
    DECLARE @threshold INT = 99
    DECLARE @body nvarchar(max)
    CREATE TABLE #tlogtables
    (
    databaseName sysname,
    logSize DECIMAL (18, 5),
    logUsed DECIMAL (18, 5),
    status INT
    )
    INSERT INTO #tlogtables
    EXECUTE ('DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE)')

    IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tlogtables WHERE logused >= @threshold) > 0
    BEGIN
    SET @body = N'
    <style type=''text/css''>
    TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;background-color: #E8E8E8; border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}
    TH{color:black; border-width: 1px;font-size: 11px; padding: 3px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}
    TD{color:black; border-width: 1px;font-size: 11px; padding: 3px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}
    </style>' +
    N'
