True, but given a file of empno & email as csv, and a directory of
empno.pdf, it's probably as easy to step through the file, find the pdf,
mail it as it is to read the file into a database, step through the file
list and find the email from the db, email the file.

The directory of pdf files is effectively already random access data.

Swings and roundabouts, but if this was a once off event and I had no
expectation of other uses for the empno / name / email table, I'm not
sure I'd bother building a db for this mailshot.

The bigger question for me would be whether to use python or php to
script the process. ;)
