When you use the sp_send_dbmail stored procedure to send emails from SQL Server, you have the option of adding query results to the email.
When you do this, you might find that unwanted padding has been added to some columns. Fortunately, you can eliminate this padding with the @query_result_no_padding argument.
When you use the sp_send_dbmail stored procedure to send emails in SQL Server, you would typically include the @profile_name argument to specify which profile to use.

When doing this, you need to provide the name or ID of both the user and the profile. This is because you need to specify exactly which profile/principal association you want to update.

You can also return account info based on the account name/ID or the profile name/ID.
