I used a cursor loop...

    declare

       cursor CUR1 is
           select * from table1;
    begin
       for CUR1_REC in CUR1
         loop
           insert into table2 values
           (CUR1_REC.col1,
            CUR1_REC.col2,
            CUR1_REC.col3,
             etc. );
         end loop;

   end;

It seemed to work.
