I am using sp_send_dbmail in SQL2005 to send an email with the results in an attachment. When the attachment is sent it is UCS-2 Encoded, I want it to be ANSI or UTF-8.

Here is the SQL

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail     @recipients = 'temp@example.com'     , @query = 'DECLARE @string_to_trim varchar(60);SET @string_to_trim = ''1234''; select rtrim(@string_to_trim), ''tom'''     , @query_result_header=0     , @subject = 'see attach'     , @body= 'temp body'     , @profile_name= N'wksql01tAdmin'     , @body_format = 'HTML'     ,@query_result_separator = ','     ,@query_attachment_filename = 'results.csv'     ,@query_no_truncate = '0'     ,@attach_query_result_as_file = 1

I have seen some comments on the internet that this is fixed with sql2005 SP2, but do not find it to be the case.

  1. I think the only way to get around what you are seeing is to use BCP to dump the data to a flat file and then attach that file. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. 🙁
