What is it you're actually trying to accomplish? There's got to be a better way, but without understanding what you're
doing(rather than how) it's hard to give you advice.
CREATE TABLE AS and SELECT INTO only reproduce data, not metadata. AFAIK duplicating a table's constraints involves
fishingaround in the pg_ system tables.
