Answer 1

Hello Pankaj,
My approach will be as follows:
<ul><li>
Create a procedure to notify all the users whose say account expiry date matches system date i.e. sysdate
procedure send_notification
as
begin
for rec in (select EMP_ID, EMP_MAIL from EMP where ACCT_EXP_DT = SYSDATE)
loop
     //call procedure to send mail to notify the expiry date
end loop;
end;</li><li>
Now, schedule the above procedure to run every day at say 06:00 PM with the help of DBMS_SCHEDULER
begin
-- create a schedule
-- daily from Monday to Sunday at 18:00 (06:00 p.m.) 
dbms_scheduler.create_schedule (
schedule_name    => 'INTERVAL_DAILY_1800', 
start_date       => trunc(sysdate)+18/24, 
repeat_interval  => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT,SUN; BYHOUR=18;', 
comments         => 'Runtime: Every day (Mon-Sun) at 18:00 o''clock');
-- Call the procedure to send mail 
dbms_scheduler.create_program (
program_name    => 'PROG_NOTIFY_ACCNT_EXP', 
program_type    => 'STORED_PROCEDURE', 
program_action  => 'SEND_NOTIFICATION', 
enabled         => true, 
comments        => 'Procedure to notify account expiry' );
-- Connect both dbms_scheduler parts by creating the final job 
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
job_name       => 'JOB_NOTIFY_ACCNT_EXP', 
program_name   => 'PROG_NOTIFY_ACCNT_EXP', 
schedule_name  => 'INTERVAL_DAILY_1800', 
enabled        => true, 
auto_drop      => false, 
comments       => 'Job to notify account expiry');
end;</li></ul>
If you are planning to use [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_mail.htm#CIHDIEJI]APEX_MAIL package to send mail and if you are using packaged procedure to send mail then take following in consideration:
{message:id=10145867}
Hope it helps!
