If you aren't going to INSERT the data it should not be in the SQL statement.

As an example, say you have a table "Data" with id, float1, float2, float3, and float4, Float5, of which you will only be adding the ID. The INSERT should look like this:

INSERT INTO `Data` ( `id` )
VALUES ( 'Some-ID-Value' )

If the floats are defined to accept NULL they will be defaulted to NULL. The same goes for UPDATE statements, you should only list fields you will be altering.
