Data Frame Indexing Bug
# This is a reduction which seems to indicate an issue when
# adding a column using an arbitrary set of indexes.
# First, let's create a data-frame with some random values:
s <- data.frame(x = runif(10), y = runif(10))
# Now, two randomly generated lists of numbers that we'll use to try to index
# This could be created thusly:
# wrong <- sample(1:nrow(s), nrow(s) * 0.8), etc.
wrong <- c(3, 6, 7, 5, 1, 2, 9, 8)

Seconds since midnight?
-- Note that this doesn't work:
-- SELECT DATEDIFF(second, DATE(NOW()), NOW());
-- =>
-- ERROR: function pg_catalog.date_diff("unknown", date, timestamp with time zone) does not exist
-- HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You may need to add explicit type casts.
-- This does work:
SELECT DATEDIFF(second, DATE(NOW()), SPLIT_PART(NOW(), '.', 1)::timestamp);
