The 'table__history' is a historical record table, which is a part of the 'tilastointialueet_suuralue4500k_2013' dataset. This table holds the version history of each row of its base table, which represents the Major Regions of Finland in 2013 at a scale of 1:4 500 000. The table allows tracking changes in the data across time, offering valuable insights for studies related to regional changes and development.

The table has a unique identifier for each row based on the combination of '_start_date' and '_row_number', representing when a particular row was extracted and its position in the raw data source respectively. If '_end_date' is null, it indicates that the version of the row is the most recent.

The table's geographic information, prefixed with 'geom_', is particularly valuable for geospatial data analytics. It includes geographic coordinates, presented using WGS 84 coordinate reference system with longitude first, followed by latitude. The data includes 'geom_type', specifying the nature of the geographic data, and 'geom_centroid', which represents center points of the geo areas.

The data also includes other essential information such as the Finnish and Swedish names of the regions, and the year the data was collected. A few examples of how this data could be used in analytics include tracking regional development over time, analyzing changes in geo boundaries, or studying the correlation between different areas and time.

The table is sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website, based in Finland.

Field Descriptions

Name Data type Description
_start_datedateThis column marks the date when the row was extracted from the source data. It forms a unique identifier for each row in combination with the '_row_number' column.
_end_datedateThis column records the date when a new version of the row was extracted from the source data. If this column's value is null, it signifies that the row is the most recent version.
_row_numberlongThis column contains the number of the row in the raw data extracted from the source. It is part of the unique identifier for each row when combined with the '_start_date' column.
geom_geojsonstringThis column contains geometric data in the GeoJSON format, which describes the geographic features of the data.
geom_geotextstringThis column contains geometric data in text format. It can be used to visualize the geographic features of the data.
geom_typestringThis column specifies the type of geometric data stored in the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns. In this case, the geometry type is a multipolygon.
geom_centroidstringThis column holds the centroid of the geographic feature, which is the center point of the shape.
geom_center_xdoubleThis column contains the x-coordinate of the centroid of the geographic feature.
geom_center_ydoubleThis column contains the y-coordinate of the centroid of the geographic feature.
gml_idstringThis is a unique identifier for each row, provided by the source data.
namestringThis column holds the English names of the geographic features.
namnstringThis column contains the names of the geographic features in Swedish.
nimistringThis column contains the names of the geographic features in Finnish.
suuraluestringThis column represents a category or grouping of the geographic features.
vuosilongThis column represents the year related to the geographic data.
