/**
  These two declarations are different:
    x INT;
    ROW(x INT);
  A ROW with one elements should not be comparable to scalar value.

  TODO: Currently we don't support one argument with the function ROW(), so
  this query returns a syntax error, meaning that more arguments are expected:
    SELECT ROW(1);

  Therefore, all around the code we assume that cols()==1 means a scalar value
  and cols()>1 means a ROW value. With adding ROW SP variables this
  assumption is not true any more. ROW variables with one element are
  now possible.

  To implement Item::check_cols() correctly, we now should extend it to
  know if a ROW or a scalar value is being tested. For example,
  these new prototypes should work:
    virtual bool check_cols(Item_result result, uint c);
  or
    virtual bool check_cols(const Type_handler *type, uint c);

  The current implementation of Item_splocal::check_cols() is a compromise
  that should be more or less fine until we extend check_cols().
  It disallows ROW variables to appear in a scalar context.
  The "|| n == 1" part of the conditon is responsible for this.
  For example, it disallows ROW variables to appear in SELECT list:

DELIMITER $$;
CREATE PROCEDURE p1()
AS
  a ROW (a INT);
BEGIN
  SELECT a;
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;$$
--error ER_OPERAND_COLUMNS
CALL p1();

  But is produces false negatives with ROW variables consisting of one element.
  For example, this script fails:

SET sql_mode=ORACLE;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS p1;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE p1
AS
  a ROW(a INT);
  b ROW(a INT);
BEGIN
  SELECT a=b;
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;
CALL p1();

  and returns "ERROR 1241 (21000): Operand should contain 1 column(s)".
  This will be fixed that we change check_cols().

  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 a column reference in a sub-select.

  Resolve a column reference (usually inside a HAVING clause) against the
  SELECT and GROUP BY clauses of the query described by 'select'. The name
  resolution algorithm searches both the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses, and in
  case of a name conflict prefers GROUP BY column names over SELECT names. If
  both clauses contain different fields with the same names, a warning is
  issued that name of 'ref' is ambiguous. We extend ANSI SQL in that when no
  GROUP BY column is found, then a HAVING name is resolved as a possibly
  derived SELECT column. This extension is allowed only if the
  MODE_ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY sql mode isn't enabled.

  @param thd     current thread
  @param ref     column reference being resolved
  @param select  the select that ref is resolved against

  @note
    The resolution procedure is:
    - Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
    in the SELECT clause of Q.
    - Search for a column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
    in the GROUP BY clause of Q.
    - If found different columns with the same name in GROUP BY and SELECT:
    - if the condition that uses this column name is pushed down into
    the HAVING clause return the SELECT column
    - else issue a warning and return the GROUP BY column.
    - Otherwise
    - if the MODE_ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode is enabled return error
    - else return the found SELECT column.


  @return
    - NULL - there was an error, and the error was already reported
    - not_found_item - the item was not resolved, no error was reported

  @param[in,out] reference   view column if this item was resolved to a

  @description
  The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
  present in outer selects that contain current select.

  In prepared statements, because of cache, find_field_in_tables()
  can resolve fields even if they don't belong to current context.
  In this case this method only finds appropriate context and marks
  current select as dependent. The found reference of field should be
  provided in 'from_field'.

  The cache is critical for prepared statements of type:

  SELECT a FROM (SELECT a FROM test.t1) AS s1 NATURAL JOIN t2 AS s2;

  This is internally converted to a join similar to

  SELECT a FROM t1 AS s1,t2 AS s2 WHERE t2.a=t1.a;

  Without the cache, we would on re-prepare not know if 'a' did match
  s1.a or s2.a.

  @note
    This is the inner loop of Item_field::fix_fields:
  @code
        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

  @retval

    0   column fully fixed and fix_fields() should return FALSE

/**
  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.

    cs                 collation to use when comparing strings

  DESCRIPTION
    This method works exactly as Item::eq if the collation cs coincides with
    the collation of the compared objects. Otherwise, first the collations that
    differ from cs are replaced for cs and then the items are compared by
    Item::eq. After the comparison the original collations of items are
    restored.

  RETURN
    1    compared items has been detected as equal   
    0    otherwise

  @param arg      parameter to be passed to the checker

  @details
    This method recursively traverses this AND/OR condition and for each
    subformula of the condition it checks whether it can be usable for the
    extraction of a pushable condition. The criteria of pushability of
    a subformula is checked by the callback function 'checker' with one
    parameter arg. The subformulas that are not usable are marked with
    the flag NO_EXTRACTION_FL.
  @note
    This method is called before any call of build_pushable_cond.
    The flag NO_EXTRACTION_FL set in a subformula allows to avoid building
    clones for the subformulas that are not used in the pushable condition.
  @note
    This method is called for pushdown conditions into materialized
    derived tables/views optimization.
    Item::pushable_cond_checker_for_derived() is passed as the actual callback
    function.
    Also it is called for pushdown conditions in materialized IN subqueries.

/**
  @brief
    Build condition extractable from this condition for pushdown

  @param thd      the thread handle
  @param checker  the checker callback function to be applied to the nodes
                  of the tree of the object to check if multiple equality
                  elements can be used to create equalities
  @param arg      parameter to be passed to the checker

  @details
    This method finds out what condition that can be pushed down can be
    extracted from this condition. If such condition C exists the
    method builds the item for it. The method uses the flag NO_EXTRACTION_FL
    set by the preliminary call of the method check_pushable_cond() to figure
    out whether a subformula is pushable or not.
    In the case when this item is a multiple equality a checker method is
    called to find the equal fields to build a new equality that can be
    pushed down.
  @note
    The built condition C is always implied by the condition cond
    (cond => C). The method tries to build the most restrictive such
    condition (i.e. for any other condition C' such that cond => C'
    we have C => C').
  @note
    The build item is not ready for usage: substitution for the field items
    has to be done and it has to be re-fixed.
  @note
    This method is called for pushdown conditions into materialized
    derived tables/views optimization.
    Item::pushable_equality_checker_for_derived() is passed as the actual
    callback function.
    Also it is called for pushdown conditions into materialized IN subqueries.
    Item::pushable_equality_checker_for_subquery() is passed as the actual
    callback function.

 @retval
    the built condition pushable into if such a condition exists

  Resolve the name of a reference to a column reference.

  The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
  present in one of: GROUP BY clause, SELECT clause, outer queries. It is
  used typically for columns in the HAVING clause which are not under
  aggregate functions.

  POSTCONDITION @n
  Item_ref::ref is 0 or points to a valid item.

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

  @code
        resolve_extended([T_j].col_ref_i)
        {
          Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
          in the SELECT and GROUP clauses 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 SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q_k.

              if such a column is not found AND
                 - Q_k is not a group query AND
                 - Q_k is not inside an aggregate function
                 OR
                 - Q_(k-1) is not in a HAVING or SELECT clause of Q_k
              {
                search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
                [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q_k;
              }
            }
          }
        }
  @endcode
  @n
    This procedure treats GROUP BY and SELECT clauses as one namespace for
    column references in HAVING. Notice that compared to
    Item_field::fix_fields, here we first search the SELECT and GROUP BY
    clauses, and then we search the FROM clause.

  @param[in]     thd        current thread
  @param[in,out] reference  view column if this item was resolved to a
    view column

  @todo
    Here we could first find the field anyway, and then test this
    condition, so that we can give a better error message -
    ER_WRONG_FIELD_WITH_GROUP, instead of the less informative
    ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR which we produce now.
