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 fishing around in the pg_ system 
tables.
