New methods to handle VARCHAR strings and CHAR's which are not
using a binary collation.
Indentation fixes
Now strings are run through strnxfrm before they are processed
by the partition function
We do not allow collations where strnxfrm expands the string since
we want the resulting string to fit in the same value range as
the original.

made DROP VIEW to continue on error and report an aggregated error 
 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.

  algorithm. This means that if they are not specified in ALTER VIEW
  their values are preserved from CREATE VIEW instead of being defaulted.
