Title:
  Trunk : Total Injustice to the company 'name' !

Status in OpenERP Server:
  New

Bug description:
  Guys,

  I am not sure how critical this would be, but we faced this live on an
  implementation and was really a shocker.

  There seems to be 2 issues, both the issues have same root!

  Case 1. Try to duplicate the company record, although this should
  never go as a real case I guess. System would give you an error of not
  null constrain for the field 'name'.  The field name is a
  fields.related and can usually fail in this case.

  Proposed solution : copy() should be overridden and it can manage the
  rest.

  Case 2. Keeping the field as related is fine, but injustice happens
  when the same name(from Partner model,feeling like a rich) when goes
  to name of the company, feels like filthy. In technical terms, the
  size of the name for partner_id appears to be 128 chars and name for
  company stands as 64 chars long. This results in "DataError: value too
  long for type character varying(64)" when the name of the partner
  doesn't really fit company name.

  Proposed Solution : size for name field of company should be reset to
  128.

  Attached merges would pave the way for the solution.

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks,
  Serpent Consulting Services.
