The 'table__history' is a historical table that is part of a larger dataset collection related to Finnish postal code areas extending to marine areas in 2017. The table captures the version history of its base table rows, thus allowing for the tracking of changes over time. This is achieved through the use of special columns, such as '_start_date', '_end_date', and '_row_number', which provide information on when the row was extracted and the unique identifier of each row. For instance, if the '_end_date' is null, it signifies that the row is the most current version.

The table also encompasses a variety of other columns that provide detailed geographical insights. These include coordinates in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude. The geographical data stored in columns that start with 'geom_' can be used for geospatial data analytics. Other columns indicate the area name in Finnish and Swedish, the area size, the postal code, and the year of data extraction.

The data in 'table__history' is sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), providing an authentic and reliable source for analysis. The comprehensive nature of this table makes it suitable for a variety of data analytics applications. For instance, it can be used to analyze trends in geographical changes over time, track the growth or decline of specific areas, or even map and visualize Finnish postal code areas for marine-related studies.
