How to solve a mail issue Failed to initialize sqlcmd library with error number -2147467259?

Question

I got an error while trying to send an email:

Msg 22050, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Failed to initialize sqlcmd library with error number -2147467259.

Here is my query:

DECLARE @Table TABLE (

total_time varchar(50),
expiration_days INT,
isdamaged bit,
iscompressed bit,
iscopyonly bit,
databasecreationtime datetime,
physicaldevicename varchar(100),
isolderthanaday bit
);
insert into @Table (server_name,database_name,byuser,size_mb,size_gb,backup_started,backup_finished,total_time,expiration_days,isdamaged,iscompressed,iscopyonly,databasecreationtime,physicaldevicename,isolderthanaday)

    @query_attachment_filename = 'test.csv',
    @importance = 'High',

    @query_result_separator = ',';

I tried setting max byte size for mail to 10MB but that didn't help. The problem is associated with @query paramteter. What would you suggest?

P.S sp_ineachdb is a customized procedure

Answer 1

From your example, you are trying to insert the results of your query into a table variable and then trying to use that table variable in the sp_send_mail procedure call. That won't work. sp_send_mail needs to reference a real table and not a temp table either.
