The 'table__history' is a valuable source of information, providing a historical record of its corresponding base table. This history table originates from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website and forms part of the 'tilastointialueet_maakunta1000k_2015' dataset collection. The table offers a rich combination of data, including unique identifiers, date details, geographical information, and more. This table specifically focuses on the regions of Finland as of 2015, as described in the base table contents.

Each row in this history table is uniquely identified by a combination of a start date and a row number. These dates denote when the row was extracted from the data source and when a new version was extracted, providing a timeline of changes. If the end date is null, this signifies the most recent version of the row.

A standout feature of this table is its geospatial data, provided in columns starting with 'geom_'. This data includes geographic information in various formats, along with coordinate details for the center of the geographic area. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude.

The table also includes a rich set of regional data. This includes the region's identifier, its name in various languages, and specific geospatial figures. These figures are represented in the form of 'shape_star' and 'shape_stle', which could be utilized in geospatial analysis.

The integration of historical, geographical, and regional data makes this table a potent tool for data analytics. It could be used to track regional changes over time, analyze the relationship between different regions, or study geospatial trends. For example, an analyst could use this data to examine regional growth patterns, compare the development of different regions, or create detailed geographical visualizations.
