Converting BIT to a string (an intermediate step in conversion) does 
not yield an ASCII numeric string, so we skip that step for BIT and
get the integer value directly from the item.

This site in sql/item_strfunc.cc may be ripe for refactoring for
other types as well, where converting to a string is a waste of time.

 at its end. This makes it similar to DROP TABLE.

  When executing ALTER TABLE all the attributes of the view were overwritten.
  This is contrary to the user's expectations.
  So some of the view attributes are preserved now : namely security and 
  algorithm. This means that if they are not specified in ALTER VIEW
  their values are preserved from CREATE VIEW instead of being defaulted.
