create table t2 as select * from emp1 where 1=0;

insert into emp1 values(1,'one',80);

insert into emp1 values(2,'two',40);

my aim is to populate table t2 using bulk collect, and forall

DBMS_OUTPUT is only valid within PL/SQL block.

i expected the above to work, so should i use the last and first
properties of a plsql table to insert into my target table?

i mean, looping through the plsql table using first and last
attributes?

While some folks can learn coding by trial & error, others benefit from Reading The Fine Manual & following the examples.

When inserting a whole row of columns from a collection, without specifying each column name, you don't use the parentheses for the values clause:

SCOTT@orcl_11g> create table emp1(eno number,ename varchar2(20),sal number)
  2  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> create table t2 as select * from emp1 where 1=0
  2  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> insert into emp1 values(1,'one',80)
  2  /

1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> insert into emp1 values(2,'two',40)
  2  /

1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> insert into emp1 values(3,'ddd',20)
  2  /

1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> declare
  2    type emptype is table of emp1%rowtype;
  3    v_emptype emptype;
  4  begin
  5    select * bulk collect into v_emptype from emp1;
  6    forall i in 1 .. v_emptype.count
  7  	 insert into t2 values v_emptype(i);
  8  end;
  9  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> select * from t2
  2  /

       ENO ENAME                       SAL
---------- -------------------- ----------
         1 one                          80
         2 two                          40
         3 ddd                          20
