Hi Jason,

I see the problem. Analytics after 2.14 should remove all empty analytics
tables though so you should not have all those empty tables between 0 and
now.

Unless someone plans to use DHIS for archaeological research / studies of
the ancient Greeks we could maybe hard code some sensible limits to protect
from those extreme cases.
