I am thinking if it makes any sense in the current context of DHIS2 to
store zero values. Maybe we should intercept them (sort of like a DB
trigger) and put them some place else if people actually care about
them. Should increase performance. Of course, we currently have a
maintainence function to delete the values, but it might be nice to
intercept them at the point of data entry/import and put them some
place else. A system setting could be used in order to allow people to
choose where zero values should be handled like 1) never record them
anywhere 2) record them in datavalue table 3) record them in
datavalue_zeros table.

Just a wacky idea early in the morning, but might be useful.

Regards,
Jason
