Htmldb_mail and multiple rows

Question

I would like to send via email the result of a query that returns multiple rows. How can I achieve that ? The following code example explains in detail what I would like to have - but it doesn't work like that.
DECLARE
remp varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
remp := 'select name from employee';
htmldb_mail.send(
p_to => '[email protected]',
p_from => '[email protected]',
p_body => 'These are the employees: '||remp||'',
p_subj => 'mail test');
END;
Thanks Tobias

hi Tobias,
you need to use cursor, to collect all your employee names into one variable, after that include that variable in your mail body.
Declare
remp varchar2(4000);
CURSOR cur IS
SELECT name
FROM employee;
rec cur%ROWTYPE;
begin
OPEN cur;
LOOP
FETCH cur INTO rec;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND;
remp:=remp||', '||rec.name;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
htmldb_mail.send(
p_to => '[email protected]',
p_from => '[email protected]',
p_body => 'These are the employees: '||remp||'',
p_subj => 'mail test');
end;
hope this help.
