It is possible to use the describeTable() method.

So your resource model, you can create a function as the following one, this will return an array of fields for the main table:

public function getFields()
{
    $fields = $this->_getWriteAdapter()->describeTable($this->getMainTable());
    return $fields;
}

I like this method - and great with the self-answer. I was going to suggest Zend_Db_Table's info(Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::COLS) method, but this is great and works within the bounds of pure Magento. – philwinkle Jul 14 '14 at 17:37
Thanks, I just dig 10 min in the classes hierarchy of model/resource model and I end up in describeTable() method, to be precise here: Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Db_Abstract::hasDataChanged() ( I usually challenge myself writing question and try to be faster that the community answer :) – Fra Jul 15 '14 at 8:28

For who are struggling with this in Magento 2:

In your custom resource model class, add this function:

public function getFields()
{
    $fields = $this->getConnection()->describeTable($this->getMainTable());
    return $fields;
}

And in somewhere you need to get all columns of a table (all fields of object):

$objectModel = $this->objectFactory->create(); // I prefer using dependency injection
$keys = array_keys($objectModel->getResource()->getFields());

P/S: Thank you @Fra for a great self-answer question. It saved a lot of my time.
