Ask HN: Free tool to schedule and receive SQL emails?
4 comments
Why not use cron?
mysql the_database << "SELECT ...." | mail -s "Daily report" your@email
But how to send the result of this SQL query in a beautiful table format in email's body?
It would be nice to have HTML tags with CSS style.
I am thinking in build an easy tool to do that, really similar to your solution using cronjob, but more fancy and easy to ready on email (also with an .csv attached with all data)
What do u think?

The same way. But get cron to invoke a ruby/python/bash script or program to get the output you want.

Or if you're stuck on windows, the task scheduler:

I need to receive an email every morning telling me if my crawlers did run fine last night. I can do this with a simple SQL query.
I am willing to build this tool (in Node.js) if this tool does not exists just yet.
* No SaaS, please. I'm looking for a self-hosted option. I do not want to give a read-only password of my database for anybody.
