If I have an SQL table with all default columns (e.g. identity column + any number of columns all with default values), what is the SQL statement to insert a row with no explicit values given?
insert MyTable /* ( doh, no fields! ) */ -- values( doh, no values! ) What's the trick?

The data type of the Default Value must be the same as the data type of the column. The DEFAULT value constraint only applies if the column does not have a value specified in the INSERT statement. You can still insert a NULL into an optional (nullable) column by explicitly inserting NULL.
Right-click the control that you want to change, and then click Properties or press F4. Click the All tab in the property sheet, locate the Default Value property, and then enter your default value. Press CTRL+S to save your changes.
If you want to add data to your SQL table, then you can use the INSERT statement. Here is the basic syntax for adding rows to your SQL table: INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,etc) VALUES (value1, value2, value3, etc); The second line of code is where you will add the values for the rows.
This is a part of the INSERT syntax

You can use the DEFAULT keyword.
