OData is a Web protocol that provides JDBC-like access for querying and updating data from a variety of sources, including relational databases, file systems, content management systems and websites. OData allows you to query a data source through the HTTP protocol. Optionally, you can configure transport-level security and authentication methods. TDV uses odata4j to parse OData queries.

TDV supports the reformatting of results, and several system query options. These standard OData syntax options are discussed on the OData website, odata.org.

TDV supports OData v4 in addition to the previous version of OData. The new version of OData is available as a separate tab adjacent to the older version. The standard OData v4 syntax options are discussed in the website http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/new-in-odata/v4.0/cn01/new-in-odata-v4.0-cn01.html

Following are the OData v4 features:
