OData “where ID in list” query

Question

I have an OData service where I\'m trying to filter by a list of IDs; the SQL equivalent would be something like:

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE TableId IN (100         


        

Answer 1

See accepted answer, everything below is for OData v < 4.01

try this one

 var ids = new [] { 100, 200, 300 } ;
 var res = from m in provider.Media 
           from id in ids 
           where m.media_id == id 
           select m;

there is a comprehensive description on msdn on querying DataServices.

another approach would be

var results = provider.Media
   .AddQueryOption("$filter", "media_id eq 100");

and since OData doesn't support IN statements you will come up with filter condition like this

.AddQueryOption("$filter", "(media_id eq 100) or (media_id eq 200 ) or ...");

which you can build using loop or linq Select and string.Join:

var ids = new [] { 100, 200, 300 };
var filter = string.Join(" or ", ids.Select(i=> $"(media_id eq {i})"));
var results = provider.Media.AddQueryOption("$filter", filter);

UPDATE: There is filter operation field=["a","b"] however it means something different.

UPDATE2: In OData V4 there is lambda expressions any and all, paired with array literal ["a", "b"] they might work as in but I was not able to come up with working example using v4 endpoint at OData.org
