The 'table__history' is part of the 'postialue_pno_2023' dataset collection. As a history table, it maintains the version history of its base table rows. This table was sourced from the website of the Statistics Finland, or 'Tilastokeskus', from Finland.

The table contains unique data records representing the 'Paavo postal code areas 2023'. It contains a variety of data fields, including geographic, demographic, and administrative data.

The geographic information is presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the order of longitude first, followed by latitude. These coordinates are contained in columns beginning with 'geom_', and can be used for geospatial data analytics, such as visualizing the postal code areas on a map or analyzing spatial patterns and trends.

The table also includes administrative data such as the postal area code, the municipality number and the names of the areas in both Finnish and Swedish. These can be used to link the table data with other datasets for further analysis.

In addition, the table contains a unique row number and timestamps for when the row was first extracted and when a new version was extracted. This versioning information allows tracking changes over time and can be used in trend analysis or data auditing. For example, if the '_end_date' is null, it indicates that the row is the most recent version.

Finally, the table features demographic information about the area, such as the number of inhabitants and the surface area. This data could be used in a variety of analytics applications, including population density studies, urban planning, and socioeconomic research.
