In real table id is defined as

id serial primary key

so I excpect that it will be populated with correct values.
List of columns are not exactly known at script creation time (in customer
sites customers may add additional columns to table),
so using column list is not possible.

Ony way seems to generates SELECT column list dynamically at run time, but
I'm looking for nicer solution to force PostgreSql to match columns by name.
