## com.sas.metadata.remote
Interface GroupByClause

All Superinterfaces:
  CMetadata, MdObjectBase, MdObjectBaseUtil, MdObjectBaseXML, QueryClause, java.rmi.Remote, Root, SecondaryType

    public interface GroupByClause

extends QueryClause

DEPRECATED: Has an association to the columns used to group this data.

Attributes of GroupByClause are:

Associations of GroupByClause are:

- `OwningSelect`

## Usage

To create an instance of this GroupByClause, use the `factory` create methods.
Example: create a GroupByClause with name "GroupByClause_Object", in repository "AAAAAAAA".

     // create a store to contain your objects for this change. If you do not have an existing object
     // or store to use.  You may obtain the store from another object by using Object.getObjectStore().
     MdFactory factory; //where "factory" is a valid MdFactory instance
     MdObjectStore objectStore = factory.createObjectStore();
     GroupByClause myObject = (GroupByClause) factory.createComplexMetadataObject(objectStore, "GroupByClause_Object", MetadataObjects.GROUPBYCLAUSE, "AAAAAAAA");
     myObject.updateMetadataAll();  // Write object to server
     objectStore.dispose();  // dispose of the object store if it is no longer needed

## Behavior

- Attributes and associations for this object can be retrieved by using the methods in `MdOMIUtil`.
- When changes are made to the object, either by setting an attribute or adding objects to a particular association, they can be persisted to the metadata server with the `updateMetadataAll` method.
- If an object needs to be deleted, the `delete` method can be used. This will flag the object as being deleted on the client, and will require an update call to persist the change to the server.

## Dependencies

This class depends on objects being contained in an MdObjectStore. Object stores should be disposed of when they are no longer needed as this will help clean up memory. Disposing an object store will dispose of all objects contained within that store.

Since:
  9.0
