Not 100% sure what the expression "garden variety select" means lol, but I'll take a guess that it means an "select from an in-house application"  .. and yes it is. 

Here (Ireland) we sometimes say "common-or-garden variety".... It means a normal, everyday variety. :-)

What is the [2] referring to?

My guess is the difference in time it takes to log the action and set
the log timestamp. Whereas the stats_reset value is the timestamp when
the stats system actually did the reset.

The above is some garden variety select?
