The 'table__history' is a version history table that is part of a larger dataset collection. This table provides a historical record of data related to the 'Large Areas 2014 (1:1 000 000)' dataset, containing data on various large geographical areas. The table houses data on each row's unique extraction date, the date when a new version of the row was extracted, and the row number in the raw data from the source, which are identified by the special columns '_start_date', '_end_date', and '_row_number' respectively. A combination of '_start_date' and '_row_number' uniquely identifies each row in this table.

The table also contains a wealth of geographic information in columns starting with 'geom_', which can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. This includes data on the type of geographical feature, the geometric center of the feature, and the geographical coordinates of the center. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude.

In addition to geographic information, the table also contains the names of large areas in different languages, the year the data was captured, and unique identifiers for each area.

The 'table__history' could be utilized in a variety of data analytics scenarios. For instance, it can be used for studying changes in geographical features over time, analyzing the evolution of large areas, or for conducting geospatial analysis to identify trends or patterns in the data.
