In OData, you can use the $filter query option with multiple predicates to filter entities based on multiple criteria. Here's an example of how to use multiple predicates in an OData $filter expression:
perl/odata/MyEntities?$filter=Property1 eq 'Value1' and Property2 lt 100 and Property3 gt datetime'2022-01-01T00:00:00'
In this example, MyEntities
is the name of the entity set that you want to filter, and Property1
, Property2
, and Property3
are the names of the properties that you want to filter on.
The eq
, lt
, and gt
operators are used to compare the property values against the specified values. You can use other operators like ne
(not equals), le
(less than or equals), and ge
(greater than or equals) depending on your requirements.
The and
operator is used to combine multiple predicates into a single filter expression. You can also use the or
operator to filter entities that meet any of the specified criteria.
Note that you can use parentheses to group predicates together and control the order of evaluation. For example:
perl/odata/MyEntities?$filter=(Property1 eq 'Value1' and Property2 lt 100) or (Property3 gt datetime'2022-01-01T00:00:00' and Property4 ne 'Value4')
In this example, the two groups of predicates are evaluated separately and combined using the or
operator.
Keep in mind that the more predicates you add to your $filter expression, the more complex the query becomes and the longer it may take to execute. It's a good practice to limit the number of predicates to only those that are necessary for your query.
