What's your definition of "other dbs"? The above statement is quite
clearly in violation of the SQL92 and SQL99 specifications:

<insert statement> ::=
INSERT INTO <table name>
<insert columns and source>

<insert columns and source> ::=
[ <left paren> <insert column list> <right paren> ]
<query expression>
| DEFAULT VALUES

<insert column list> ::= <column name list>

<column name list> ::=
<column name> [ { <comma> <column name> }... ]

<column name> ::= <identifier>

I'm not particularly excited about supporting non-SQL variant syntaxes
that add no functionality.
