Multi-column IN clause

Any ideas on how to do a multi-column IN clause? Note that the comparison set is coming from application memory, not a subquery in Oracle. So, for example, I have two arrays, IDs() and Names(), and I want to get something like this:

SQL

SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE (ID, NAME) NOT IN (:IDs, :Names)

Most common error I've been getting is "invalid relational operator".

Open to other suggestions. I'd like to avoid building an ugly query like

SQL

SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE (ID, NAME) NOT IN ((ID1,Name1), (ID2,Name2), ...)

or even worse,

SQL

SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE (ID || NAME) NOT IN (:IDNames)

Previously you have to select ids which you want to neglet/omit then push that ids into temp table and then filter records using temp table ids

here sample code

SQL

DECLARE @TempTable TABLE (Ids int)

insert into @TempTable(Ids)
select StudentIdid from StudentTable where StudentId<10
  
select StudentId,StudentName from StudentTable where StudentId not in (select Ids from @TempTable)

i hope you understand...
