Data model group is nothing but grouping the data columns based on the requirement. In other words it s
like creating parent child relationship for set of columns.
In the previous lesson we have specified relationship between two different queries using DATA LINK.
However, Instead of creating separate queries and adding a data link we can directly use a single select
statement and grouping the data in data model as per the hierarchy/ relationship.
SQL>SELECT d.deptno,
d.dname,
d.loc,
e.empno,
e.ename,
e.sal,
e.deptno
FROM emp e, dept d
WHERE e.deptno=d.deptno

Now we are grouping the data by dragging the fields from main group and make it as subgroup which is
shown below. Just like parent and child groups. i.e for every department number we will have employee
information.
This way we can avoid DATALINKS.
