Request for Binary Operators Support in ArcGIS Query

Dear Esri team,

I would like to suggest adding support for binary operators (&, |, ^) in ArcGIS query expressions.

Binary operations are significantly more efficient in certain data processing scenarios—especially when working with flag-based fields. Many datasets contain bitwise flag values to represent multiple boolean states compactly. Supporting binary operators would allow developers and analysts to:

•Efficiently filter and query features using bitmask logic.

•Minimize data transmission by avoiding the need for post-processing large result sets on the client side.

•Improve reusability of data structures by using bit fields to encode multiple states or permissions.

Currently, ArcGIS supports common arithmetic operators like +, -, *, and /, but lacks built-in support for binary operators such as &, |, and ~. Adding this functionality would be a valuable enhancement for more advanced workflows and optimized performance.

Thank you for your consideration!

Best regards
