inserting column names into table

My table name that I am pulling the column names from is dbcrms.sourcedata. I am trying to pull all the column names and insert them into a table called data_columns. How would I do so? Thanks!

Not really knowing your full table schema here is an example of what you can do using information_schema:

INSERT INTO data_columns  (column_name)
SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.`COLUMNS` WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'sourcedata' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbcrms';
