    Disonnecting from database

    Hi all

    I have created a procedure to send mail, using utl_smtp package. the code goes like this

    create or replace procedure send_mail(parma1 In date,param2 in date)
    is
    email varchar2(100);
    subject varchar2(100);
    conn utl_smtp.connection;
    begin

    capture the email id from some table;
    con = utl_smtp.connection (host,25);
    utl_smtp.helo(conn, host)
    utl_smtp.mail(conn,email)

    utl_smtp.open_data(conn)
    .
    .
    .
    .
    end;

    I execut this procedure in the following way
    SQL:> @c:\scripts\send_mail.sql;

    wher send_mail is the .sql file of the above code.

    I get the following error and i am disconnected from the data base.


    SQL:> @c:\scripts\send_mail.sql;

    Unknown command at the beginning email varcahr2 .... rest of the line ignored
    Unknown command at the beginning subject varcahr2 .... rest of the line ignored

    ORA-12203 -TNS: unable to conect to destination

    Warning: You are no longer connected to Oracle
    Not Connected
    SQL>



    What might be the reason? This is happening for this procedure only. I was able to compile many before this.

    Most likely you have a syntax error; hard to say 'cause you are not showing your code and you are not actually copy/pasting the error stack. It doesn't say varcahr2, does it?

    Syntax error seems likely unless he has a stored type called varcahr2...
