Shouldn't this insert fail?   This is 7.0.3.

template1=# create table foo(x int,y varchar(10),z datetime);
CREATE
template1=# insert into foo(x,y,z) values(1,'asdf');
INSERT 19222 1
template1=#

If not, why not?  z's missing from the values().  Sybase fails it:

1> create table foo(x int,y varchar(10),z datetime)
2> go
1> insert into foo(x,y,z) values(1,'asdf')
2> go
Msg 109, Level 15, State 1
, Line 1
There are more columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in
the VALUES clause.  The number of values in the VALUES clause must match
the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.
