Request a cross join of unrelated tables

To request a cross join of unrelated tables, use the $crossjoin keyword and list the tables that you want to join. When using the $filter query option, specify each field used for joining the two tables.

Use the $expand query option and the $select query option to ensure that data fields are returned rather than the default behavior, which returns a list of record IDs. See "Addressing the cross join of entity sets" in OData 4.01 URL Conventions.
