0031425: many boolean columns incorrectly defined in AD and DB

Description

Boolean columns (reference Y/N) should be defined as:
1. Mandatory: other case when working with DAL a Boolean null object is obtained failing when doing "if (object)"
2. They should have standard DB check for Y/N values

Steps To Reproduce

For case 1, check with:
select t.tablename, c.columnname
from ad_column c, ad_table t
where c.ad_reference_id = '20'
and t.ad_table_id = c.ad_table_id
and t.isview ='N'
and c.ismandatory ='N'
order by 1,2

For case 2, check with:
select t.tablename, c.columnname
from ad_column c, ad_table t
where c.ad_reference_id = '20'
and t.ad_table_id = c.ad_table_id
and t.isview ='N'
and not exists (
        select 1
        from pg_constraint ct, pg_class pt
        where pt.relname ilike t.tablename
        and ct.conrelid = pt.oid
        and contype ='c'
        and consrc ilike '%'||c.columnname||'%'
        and consrc ilike '%''Y''%'
        and consrc ilike '%''N''%')
order by 1,2

Proposed Solution

Decide whether we should enforce these two rules, if so, fix existent columns (note will be an API change) and automate test case to prevent it in future.
