SHOW COLUMNS table_name; to provide a comma-delimited list of columns.

Due to the way that SELECT * and partitioning works, it is frequently obnoxious to insert data into tables of the same schema.

This could be fixed in a number of ways, all murky; this feature request reduces the obnoxicity of the current situation.

SHOW COLUMNS foo;
OK
bar, baz, tball, ds

...then I could just copy the first three and not the last.
