Um, what is it that you're looking for? Presumably you are trying to achieve something that you can't currently achieve. Maybe you could tell us what that is and then we can tell how achieve it.

If you're under the impression that Database Mail is something that you download and install separately, it's not. It's an integral part of SQL Server. If that is what you thought then you should probably start here:

hey,

I need to monitor dates and send email notice when certain criteria are meet. I have seen SQL 2005 comes with a feature/tools to do these through sql mail database. Im currently using express edition and this feature does not come by default. Apparently there is also no separate installer to download. IMO.

Thanks.

So, what you probably could have asked in your first post was whether you could download Database Mail for use with SQL Server Express. Had you done so, you'd have got a straight answer the first time, which is unfortunately "no". Database Mail is one of the features of SQL Server that you get when you pay for a license.

Right. So it should be done outside of SQL Server. Im planning to create a small apps which then monitor the date and add it in win task schedule and set the timings appropriately to launched.

What would you suggest is the better solution?
