                                            | Hello,I'd need your help in order to guide me on how to best address this request:I need to report in a XML format e-mails stored in a SQL 2000 database.The problem is the following, of these e-mails I have on the db:FromToSubject*Path of the Body*The problem is with the last filed, because it's just a path of the real location of a .doc file containing the body (in another server), so for every e-mail I would have to read that file and use its content as the body of the e-mails.The rest is easy becasue is just reading a table and I use the 'FOR XML' instruction on SQL as well as the BCP command to generate the output.Is there a way to do this entirely on SQL (for example using a DTS with several steps) or should I mix it with some development too?Thanks in advance for your ideas.Regards,AlejandroBarcelona, Spain |  |
