The 'table__history' is a rich and diverse dataset, forming part of the 'tilastointialueet_seutukunta1000k_2023' dataset collection, sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland). It is a history table containing the version history of the rows from its base table, which is described as 'Seutukunnat 2023' (Regions 2023) on a scale of 1:1 000 000. The table is organized in a way that allows for easy tracking of changes to the base table over time.

The content of the table includes various attributes of the regions, such as their names in different languages, identification numbers, and the year of data collection. A unique feature of this table is the inclusion of geographical data, specifically in the 'geom_' columns, which provide valuable geographic information. This information, presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, can be utilized for geospatial data analytics.

The table also has special columns like '_start_date', '_end_date', and '_row_number'. The '_start_date' and '_row_number' together uniquely identify each row in this version history table. The '_start_date' refers to the date when the row was extracted from the data source, while the '_end_date' signals when a new version of the row was extracted. If '_end_date' is null, it means that the row is the most recent version.

This table is a valuable resource for data analysts. For instance, the geospatial data can be used to map changes in regional boundaries over time or analyze spatial patterns and trends. The version history can be used to track changes and updates made to the regions' data over time, providing insights into how the regions have evolved. The combination of geographical and historical data makes this table a great tool for multidimensional analysis in various domains, including urban planning, environmental studies, and social sciences.
