I guess it also depends on how smart you want it to be. For example,
if you have a NOT NULL column without a DEFAULT value, which you
haven't included in your select statement, the inserts it generates
won't be valid, at least not for that exact table. But maybe that's a
bit of a corner case, and plus it might not be a problem, and the user
should probably know better anyway.
