Hello,

In the process of converting WHO identifiers for administrative
boundaries (LVLID) to ids usable for DHIS2, I've run into the limits
of the integer datatype we use in DHIS2.

The LVLID is a three letter ISO code followed by 18 digits. We are
converting the alphabetical ISO for the country to an ISO numeric code
(preceeded by 1 to make it numeric).

Would it be problematic to change the datatype for organisationunitid
from integer to bigint?
