The use case of populating population data is one where I support using SQL directly, and I don't think we will implement a function for this is in the system. The below query is the one I used in Kenya to move population data from one year to another, might be useful with some modification (postgresql).
Lars -- Moves population data from last year to this year -- Replace first periodid (43668) with current year, replace second periodid (21011) with last year, growth rate with desired rate (1.029), replace dataset.name ('Population estimates') with population dataset name delete from datavalue where periodid=43668 and dataelementid in ( select dataelementid from datasetmembers join dataset using(datasetid) where dataset.name='Population estimates' ); insert into datavalue(dataelementid,periodid,sourceid,categoryoptioncomboid,value,storedby,lastupdated,comment,followup) select dataelementid,43668 as periodid,sourceid,categoryoptioncomboid,ceil(cast(value as double precision)*1.029) as value,storedby,lastupdated,comment,followup from datavalue where periodid=21011 and dataelementid in ( select dataelementid from datasetmembers join dataset using(datasetid) where dataset.name='Population estimates' );
