If the attribute is a key or an identifying attribute of an entity, the client application groups on the entity’s key columns instead.

The Attribute.DiscourageGrouping element is optional. If this element is present, its value MUST be a Boolean. A value of true specifies that grouping on this attribute is discouraged. If the Attribute.DiscourageGrouping element is not present, its value is interpreted as false.
