SQL Query

CREATE TABLE #Temp 
( 
  [Rank]  [int],
  [Player Name]  [varchar](128),
  [Ranking Points] [int],
  [Country]  [varchar](128)
)


INSERT INTO #Temp
SELECT 1,'Rafael Nadal',12390,'Spain'
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'Roger Federer',7965,'Switzerland'
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'Novak Djokovic',7880,'Serbia'


DECLARE @xml NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @body NVARCHAR(MAX)


SET @xml = CAST(( SELECT [Rank] AS 'td','',[Player Name] AS 'td','',
       [Ranking Points] AS 'td','', Country AS 'td'
FROM  #Temp ORDER BY Rank 
FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX))


SET @body ='<html><body><H3>Tennis Rankings Info</H3>
<table border = 1> 
<tr>
<th> Rank </th> <th> Player Name </th> <th> Ranking Points </th> <th> Country </th></tr>'    

 
SET @body = @body + @xml +'</table></body></html>'


EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'SQL ALERTING', -- replace with your SQL Database Mail Profile 
@body = @body,
@body_format ='HTML',
@recipients = 'bruhaspathy@hotmail.com', -- replace with your email address
@subject = 'E-mail in Tabular Format' ;


DROP TABLE #Temp

The HTML output from the above example looks like this:

<html>
<body>
<h3>Tennis Rankings Info</h3>
<table border="1">
 <tr>
  <th>Rank </th>
  <th>Player Name </th>
  <th>Ranking Points </th>
  <th>Country </th>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>1</td>
  <td>Rafael Nadal</td>
  <td>12390</td>
  <td>Spain</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>2</td>
  <td>Roger Federer</td>
  <td>7965</td>
  <td>Switzerland</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>3</td>
  <td>Novak Djokovic</td>
  <td>7880</td>
  <td>Serbia</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

And this is how the email would look:

As another example, if you want to change this and select FirstName, LastName and EmailAddress from Person.Contact in the AdventureWorks database and order it by LastName, FirstName you would make these changes:

Output of Email

DECLARE @xml NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @body NVARCHAR(MAX)


SET @xml = CAST(( SELECT [FirstName] AS 'td','',[LastName] AS 'td','',
       [EmailAddress] AS 'td'
FROM  Person.Contact ORDER BY LastName, FirstName 
FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX))


SET @body ='<html><body><H3>Contact Info</H3>
<table border = 1> 
<tr>
<th> First Name </th> <th> Last Name </th> <th> Email </th></tr>'    

 
SET @body = @body + @xml +'</table></body></html>'


EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'SQL ALERTING', -- replace with your SQL Database Mail Profile 
@body = @body,
@body_format ='HTML',
@recipients = 'bruhaspathy@hotmail.com', -- replace with your email address
@subject = 'E-mail in Tabular Format' ;
