## Overview
The `TimerTrigger` makes it incredibly easy to have your functions
executed on a schedule. This sample demonstrates a simple use case
of calling your function every 5 minutes. For a `TimerTrigger` to
work, you provide a schedule in the form of a [cron expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#CRON_expression)
(See the link for full details). A cron expression is a string with
6 separate expressions which represent a given schedule via patterns.
The pattern we use to represent every 5 minutes is `0 */5 * * * *`.
This, in plain text, means: "When seconds is equal to 0, minutes is
divisible by 5, for any hour, day of the month, month, day of the week,
or year".
## Resources
To use this project you will need to install some dependencies to connect to the database.
To download the drivers needed go to to [Microsoft SQL Drivers for Python](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/sql-connection-libraries?view=sql-server-ver15#anchor-20-drivers-relational-access). Once you download it, run through
the installation process.
**Resources - PYODBC with Azure:**
If you would like to read more on the topic of using PYODBC in conjunction with Microsoft
Azure, then I would refer you to the [documentation provided by Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/python/pyodbc/step-3-proof-of-concept-connecting-to-sql-using-pyodbc?view=sql-server-ver15).
**Setup - Requirement Install:**
If you don't plan to use this project in any of your other projects, I would recommend you
just install the dependencies by using the `requirement.txt` file.
```console
pip install --requirement requirements.txt
```
