UPDATE - w/out column names?

[Anon]

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if it is possible to update a record in a database without knowing the column names and knowing only the primary key of the table. So something like

UPDATE TABLE SET VALUES('12','name') where pk =1

instead of

UPDATE TABLE SET VALUES(total = '12',name = 'name') where pk =1

in which you have to specify the column names
Thanks in advance

I think this will work if you provide ALL the field values in the tables...
