The history table is a unique data collection that captures the version history of its base table rows, which belong to the dataset collection pertaining to the Finnish Postal Codes of 2017. This table, sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (The Statistical Bureau) in Finland, contains valuable data that can be used for various analytical purposes.

The table includes information about the start and end dates of when the row was extracted from the data source. These date columns, together with the row number, create a unique identifier for each row's version history. For example, if the end date value is null, it indicates that the row is the most recent version. This feature makes the table ideal for tracking changes over time, which can be utilized in trend analysis.

One of the significant aspects of this table is its geospatial data. The 'geom_' prefix columns contain geographic information, such as geotext and geojson data, centroid coordinates, and center coordinates. This data is presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with longitude first, followed by latitude. This can be used in geospatial analytics to visualize and analyze geographical data trends and patterns.

Furthermore, the table provides information on various attributes like the area's name in different languages, the area's postal code, the year, and the object's ID. It also contains data about the area's municipality and the municipality number. This information can be used in demographic studies, regional planning, and marketing segmentation.

In essence, this history table is a rich source of time-series and geospatial data that can be utilized in various data analytics applications, such as trend analysis, demographic studies, geospatial analytics, and regional planning.
