Roland,

You can't.  There are a number of ways to really cut down on the code
required to do an insert, but if you think about it, how will Oracle
know where the data is supposed to go if you don't give it the column
name(at some point)?

If you're using 8i, there is a direct load insert, but as far as I'm
aware, this will work only for a select * from another table.

Dynamic SQL works pretty well for this kind of stuff.  What are you
trying to do?
