Another alternative is:

    INSERT INTO foo (anycol) VALUES (DEFAULT);

That works in MySQL and Postgres, where anycol is literally any column in
the table.

That said, so far, I haven't found a syntax that works "everywhere."  This
type of thing has to be constructed on a case-by-case basis for each db.
