Copy and paste the column names from the "CREATE TABLE" statement...
You can try using information schema and building a dynamic SQL query inside
a function...
If you let people know WHAT you are trying to accomplish you may find you
get alternative suggestions that you never considered.
SQL itself is designed for a variable/unknown numbers of rows but a
fixed/known number of columns. The only way around that is to use a "table
of column names" to identify the columns and then dynamically create a query
with those "fixed/known" columns and "EXECUTE" it within a PL/PGSQL
function.
