The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing pattern-based data source binding in OData services. One design-time computer-implemented method includes receiving an OData request from a requestor, traversing, by a computer, a rule table to determine whether an exact match for the received OData request exists in the rule table, upon a determination that an exact match for the received OData request exists in the rule table, forwarding the OData request to a bound data source specified in the rule table, and transmitting a result to the requestor following processing of the OData request by the bound data source.
