INSERT w/o variable names for a SERIAL type?

Hello.


I am using, which is written for connecting to another server 
and uses the AUTO_INCREMENT and BLOB fields (for storing 
text). Apparently it was written for mysql(?).

I wanted to write a #define or two to change the relevant 
places, such as

#define IDKEY "INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY 
KEY" // mysql version
#define IDKEY "SERIAL PRIMARY KEY" // postgres

and currently stumbled upon mysql version of inserting the 
autoincrement value: NULL
ie.
CREATE TABLE mytable (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, textfield 
text);
the mysql variant for inserting a row would be:

INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (NULL, 'textvalue');
and NULL would get translated into the real value.

Now, if I want to write a general #define, I'd need to have a way 
to specify 'default' for SERIAL field, for, if I omit the id field in 
VALUES, I need to specify all the rest of the fields explicitly. 

Is there any value I could put in place of id in VALUES part, to 
make it replaced with the next value in sequence?
