In Google DataStore GQL, how can I group the WHERE terms?

Question

I need to group terms in the WHERE clause. For example,

WHERE (param1=\'foo1\' OR param1=\'foo2\') AND (param2=\'bar1\' OR param2=\'bar2\')

I believe the problem you're facing comes from the OR operator - GQL doesn't have one, so the conditions you have in the paranthesis are syntactically incorrect.

From the WHERE row in the Clauses table (emphasis mine):

Limits the result set to those entities that meet one or more conditions. Each condition compares a property of the entity with a value using a comparison operator. If multiple conditions are combined with the AND keyword, then an entity must meet all of the conditions to be returned by the query. GQL does not have an OR operator.
