Is there a way to insert a record into a table without explicitly stating its values?

Sure, but it will insert a default value for any unspecified column. If the column is declared NOT NULL and doesn't have a default, then you can't insert the row unless you specify a value.

Or if you want all defaults use default values

e.g.
create table deftest (i int null, j int not null default 1, id int identity)
insert deftest default values

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
