Snippet Name: Send email from Oracle

Description: With Oracle8i, you can send e-mail messages directly from PL/SQL using the UTL_TCP or UTL_SMTP packages. Note that JServer needs to be installed and configured for this to work.

Usage examples:
set serveroutput on

exec send_mail(msg_to =>'someone@somewhere.com');

exec send_mail(msg_to =>'someone@somewhere.com', -
msg_text=>'Sample email text from the Oracle database' -
);
