SET @sql = 
CONCAT( 'INSERT INTO  (', 
    (
        SELECT GROUP_CONCAT( CONCAT('`',COLUMN_NAME,'`') ) 
            FROM information_schema.columns 
            WHERE table_schema = 
                AND table_name = 
                AND column_name NOT IN ('id')
    ), ') SELECT ', 
    ( 
        SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('`',COLUMN_NAME,'`')) 
        FROM information_schema.columns 
        WHERE table_schema = 
            AND table_name = 
            AND column_name NOT IN ('id')  
    ),' from  WHERE  = ' );  

PREPARE stmt1 FROM @sql; 
execute stmt1;

Of course replace <> values with real values, and watch your quotes.
