## PostgreSQL UTL_SMTP compatibility extension
pgutlsmtp is a PostgreSQL extension to create, manage and use Oracle-style
UTLSMTP package. The use and behavior is just like with the UTLSMTP Oracle
package. This work is released from the HexaRocket
project.
This extension allows email notifications to be sent from triggers or stored
procedures. By integrating the extension directly into the database, you can
trigger data-driven actions without waiting for application intervention.
Examples include security alerts or notifications when certain minimum thresholds
are reached.
pgutlsmtp v1.0.0 has been released, this is the first release of the extension
which is compatible from PostgreSQL 12 to current.
This extension uses plperl stored procedures based on the Net::SMTP Perl module
to provide the procedures of the UTL_SMTP package.
