The 'table__history' is a historical data table that is part of the 'tilastointialueet_suuralue1000k_2024' dataset collection. It is specifically a history table, which means it keeps track of the version history of its base table rows. This table was sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' website, based in Finland. The base table content, translated into English, is 'Large Areas 2024 (1:1 000 000)'.

The table presents a variety of data through its columns, such as specific dates indicating when data was extracted and updated, unique row numbers, and geographic information. The geographic information is particularly valuable as it allows for geospatial data analytics, with coordinates presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system. This system prioritizes longitude first, followed by latitude.

Unique row identifiers are formed by combining the '_start_date' and '_row_number' columns. The '_end_date' column is used to indicate when a new version of the row was extracted, with a null value signifying the most recent version. As a history table, there are two additional columns compared to its base table: '_start_date' and '_end_date', which track the lifespan of each row's version.

In terms of data analytics, this table could be used in several ways. For instance, the geographic information could be used to study spatial patterns and trends over time, or to visualize data on a map. The version history could also be valuable for tracking changes and developments in the data over time. Additionally, the variety of columns could provide multiple entry points for conducting comparative, correlational, or trend analyses.

Field Descriptions
