  SYNOPSIS
    Item::save_str_value_in_field()
    field   a pointer to field where to store

  DESCRIPTION
    The method is used by Item_*::save_in_field_inner() implementations
    when we don't need to calculate the value to store
    See Item_string::save_in_field_inner() implementation for example

  IMPLEMENTATION
    Check if the Item is null and stores the NULL or the
    result value in the field accordingly.

  RETURN
    Nonzero value if error

   "SELECT (subq) GROUP BY (same_subq)" confuses ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY (it does
   not see that both subqueries are the same, raises an error).
   To avoid hitting this problem, if the original query was:
   "SELECT expression AS x GROUP BY x", we print "GROUP BY x", not
   "GROUP BY expression". Same for ORDER BY.
   This has practical importance for views created as
   "CREATE VIEW v SELECT (subq) AS x GROUP BY x"
   (print_order() is used to write the view's definition in the frm file).
   We make one exception: if the view is merge-able, its ORDER clause will be
   merged into the parent query's. If an identifier in the merged ORDER clause
   is allowed to be either an alias or an expression of the view's underlying
   tables, resolution is difficult: it may be to be found in the underlying
   tables of the view, or in the SELECT list of the view; unlike other ORDER
   elements directly originating from the parent query.
   To avoid this problem, if the view is merge-able, we print the
   expression. This does not cause problems with only_full_group_by, because a
   merge-able view never has GROUP BY. @see mysql_register_view().

  Aggregate two collations together taking

  1 == DERIVATION_NONE      - a mix of two different collations @n
  2 == DERIVATION_IMPLICIT  - a column @n
  3 == DERIVATION_COERCIBLE - a string constant.

  The most important rules are:
  -# If collations are the same:
  chose this collation, and the strongest derivation.
  -# If collations are different:
  - Character sets may differ, but only if conversion without
  data loss is possible. The caller provides flags whether
  character set conversion attempts should be done. If no
  flags are substituted, then the character sets must be the same.
  Currently processed flags are:
  MY_COLL_ALLOW_SUPERSET_CONV  - allow conversion to a superset
  MY_COLL_ALLOW_COERCIBLE_CONV - allow conversion of a coercible value
  - two EXPLICIT collations produce an error, e.g. this is wrong:
  CONCAT(expr1 collate latin1_swedish_ci, expr2 collate latin1_german_ci)
  - the side with smaller derivation value wins,
  i.e. a column is stronger than a string constant,
  an explicit COLLATE clause is stronger than a column.
  - if derivations are the same, we have DERIVATION_NONE,
  we'll wait for an explicit COLLATE clause which possibly can
  come from another argument later: for example, this is valid,
  but we don't know yet when collecting the first two arguments:
     @code
       CONCAT(latin1_swedish_ci_column,

/**
  Resolve the name of a column reference.

  The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
  present in one of: FROM clause, SELECT clause, GROUP BY clause of a query
  Q, or in outer queries that contain Q.

  The name resolution algorithm used is (where [T_j] is an optional table
  name that qualifies the column name):

  @code
    resolve_column_reference([T_j].col_ref_i)
    {
      search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
      [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q;

      if such a column is NOT found AND    // Lookup in outer queries.
         there are outer queries
      {
        for each outer query Q_k beginning from the inner-most one
        {
          search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
          [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q_k;

          if such a column is not found
            Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
            [in table T_j] in the SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q_k.
        }
      }
    }
  @endcode

    Notice that compared to Item_ref::fix_fields, here we first search the FROM
    clause, and then we search the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses.

    Item::eq. After the comparison the original collations of items are

    If the field doesn't belong to the table being inserted into then it is

    of the select and the field itself is substituted for the Item_ref object.
    This is done in order to get correct values from update fields that
    belongs to the SELECT part in the INSERT .. SELECT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY
    UPDATE statement.

  aggregate functions.

                 - Q_k is not inside an aggregate function

    This procedure treats GROUP BY and SELECT clauses as one namespace for
