DISCLAIMER: This question is similar to the stack overflow question here, but none of those answers work for my problem, as I will explain later.

    Well, you're gonna have to do some of this stuff by hand, unfortunately. But it can all be done from something like psql. The first command is simple enough:

    select * into newtable from oldtable
    

    This will create newtable with oldtable's data but not indexes. Then you've got to create the indexes and sequences etc on your own. You can get a list of all the indexes on a table with the command:

    select indexdef from pg_indexes where tablename='oldtable';
    

    Then run psql -E to access your db and use \d to look at the old table. You can then mangle these two queries to get the info on the sequences:

    SELECT c.oid,
      n.nspname,
      c.relname
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
         LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
    WHERE c.relname ~ '^(oldtable)$'
      AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
    ORDER BY 2, 3;
    
    SELECT a.attname,
      pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
      (SELECT substring(pg_catalog.pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid) for 128)
       FROM pg_catalog.pg_attrdef d
       WHERE d.adrelid = a.attrelid AND d.adnum = a.attnum AND a.atthasdef),
      a.attnotnull, a.attnum
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_attribute a
    WHERE a.attrelid = '74359' AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
    ORDER BY a.attnum;
    

    Replace that 74359 above with the oid you get from the previous query.
