Automatic birthday email send out of MS SQL - sql-server

Question

I created a table named Customers with the following columns:
ID
Name
Birthdate
Email
Manager
Entries
Name Birthdate Email Manager
---- ---------- -------------- -------
Jan 1986-05-15 jan#gmail.com None
Koos 1986-07-24 Koos#gmail.com 1
Sam 1991-07-24 Sam#gmail.com 1
Meaning that Koos and Sam's manager is Jan.
Now what I want to do is to determine if someone has a birthday today.
Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[EmailData]
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN
Declare #Date date
SELECT GETDATE(), Month(GetDate()), Day(GetDate()), Year(GetDate())
select
a.ID, a.Name,
a.BirthDate as EmpBirthday,
b.Name as Manager,
b.Email as ManEmail
from dbo.Customers a
inner join dbo.Customers b
on a.Manager = b.ID
where Month(a.BirthDate) = Month(GetDate())
and Day(a.BirthDate) = Day(GetDate())
END
Go
The above works fine, I get the results I want 100%.
What I want to do now is send the email of each employee whose birthday it is today to the employee's manager.
I came up with this but it does not seem to work and I have no idea why:
Create PROCEDURE EmailData
AS
BEGIN
Declare #email nvarchar(128)
Declare #Date date
SELECT GETDATE(), Month(GetDate()), Day(GetDate()), Year(GetDate())
DECLARE rcpt_cursor CURSOR FOR
select
b.Email
from dbo.Customers a
inner join dbo.Customers b
on a.Manager = b.ID
where Month(a.BirthDate) = Month(GetDate())
and Day(a.BirthDate) = Day(GetDate())
OPEN rcpt_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM rcpt_cursor INTO #email
DECLARE #ServerAddr nvarchar(128)
Set #ServerAddr = 'smtp.gmail.com'
DECLARE #From nvarchar(128)
Set #From = 'My Email Address'
DECLARE #Bodytext nvarchar(512)
Set #BodyText = 'Your Employees have a birthday today.'
DECLARE #User nvarchar(128)
Set #User = 'My Email Address'
DECLARE #Password nvarchar(128)
Set #Password = 'My Password'
DECLARE #SSL int
Set #SSL = 0
DECLARE #Port int
Set #Port = 587
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
PRINT #email
DECLARE #subject nvarchar(255)
SELECT #Subject = 'Happy Birthday' + #email
EXEC EmailData #ServerAddr,
#from, #email, #subject, #BodyText, #User, #Password, #SSL, #Port
FETCH NEXT FROM rcpt_cursor
INTO #email
END
CLOSE rcpt_cursor
DEALLOCATE rcpt_cursor
End
Go
Any help will be appreciated.

Ok I cracked it
First of all I set up a Database mail account
Then I wrote a procedure
USE [Customers]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_SendEmail]
AS
Declare #email nvarchar(128)
Declare #name nvarchar(128)
Declare #Date date
SELECT GETDATE(), Month(GetDate()), Day(GetDate()), Year(GetDate())
DECLARE rcpt_cursor CURSOR FOR
select
a.Name,
b.Email
from dbo.Customers a
inner join dbo.Customers b
on a.Manager = b.ID
where Month(a.BirthDate) = Month(GetDate())
and Day(a.BirthDate) = Day(GetDate())
OPEN rcpt_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM rcpt_cursor
INTO #name,#email
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
PRINT #email
Declare #subject nvarchar(255)
Declare #Bodytext nvarchar(512)
Set #BodyText = #Name + '' + ' has a birthday today. Please congrad him'
Set #Subject = 'Employee Birthday'
exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#Profile_Name = 'HappyBirthday',
#Recipients = #email,
#Body = #BodyText,
#Subject = #Subject
FETCH NEXT FROM rcpt_cursor
INTO #name,#email
END
CLOSE rcpt_cursor
DEALLOCATE rcpt_cursor
Go
Exec [usp_SendEmail]
The procedure now run through the hole customer table check if there are birthday dates that much and send the email to the managers whose employees have a birthday.
