Day 24 - Use ODBC driver to connect to Oracle/SQL Server DB from POWER BI Desktop

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) 

The ODBC Driver for Oracle enables an application to access data in an Oracle database through the ODBC interface.
Step 1 : Install ODBC Driver 

 Step 2 : Open ODBC App and Navigate to 'User DSN' > 'Add' to add a new connection


Step 3:  Select option - 'Oracle in OraClient.......'  to add a new oracle DB connection. Please enter details as shown below.

Click on Test Connection and enter DB password to test DB connection. You would get below message if connection is successful .

Step 4: Launch Power BI Desktop and Navigate to Get Data > ODBC > Connect 

 Select DSN  which you have just configured in above step.

 To avoid extra delay, it's a good practice to enter SQL statement to fetch relevant data from DB.


Click on OK

Step 5 : Enter user name and password to fetch data from Oracle DB



Step 6 : Tada  🎉 🎉 Able to access Oracle DB successfully from POWER BI Desktop  !!!

Day 32 - Python Script to track Available COVID-19 Vaccine Slots for 18+ in India

 Booking a COVID-19 vaccination slot reminds me of good old days of booking a TATKAL ticket in   Indian train.

Otherwise Surprise !!!  Same rule applies here too but we don't have idea about the next available slot timings for vaccination. When is the next slot going to open ? Still it's a suspense for us. By the time we come to know that there are few slots available, CoWIN portal ( https://www.cowin.gov.in/home ) shows that it's already booked. I have observed that people are struggling to find an available slots in their locality. So I thought of writing a python script using public API to track the available COVID-19 vaccine slots in the entire city. Task for interested folks who want to send an alert to a group/channel: Please trigger an email or message on WhatsApp/Telegram group whenever you get any data in the output file - "18plus...
