Question: is there any similar syntax to this in mysql:

insert into database2.table1 (column1, column2) select column4, column5 from database2.table1;

Answer: 
I've researched all the above mentioned options and found significant limitations in all of them. Looks like all vendors that dominated this space years ago are running out of steam and not investing enough in touch experience.
But I found a new product that looks promising: <http://www.starplugins.com/starzoom>
I tested their demos on iOS, Android and a few PC browsers and found that they work fine, touch friendly, and very lightweight. If anybody here used StarZoom please share your experience.
I don't think there is one. I've looked too. [OpenLayers](http://openlayers.org/) is pure JavaScript and is pretty slick. It comes pretty close to the Zoomify functionality. You can even use [images prepared with Zoomify](http://ttp://oldmapsonline.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/openlayers/examples/zoomify.html) with OpenLayers.

There's also [openzoom](http://openzoom.org/), but it lacks the nice UI controls that Zoomify and OpenLayers have.
