Cloning a DB table and renaming

create table PIPPO as (select * from PLUTO where 1 = 2);

this will create an empty table.

Unfortunately, neither PK nor FKs nor indexes will be created.

The not null constraints WILL be created.

rename PIPPO to PLUTO;

will change the table name. Be careful because all the old indexes associated to PIPPO will now be associated to PLUTO, so you might have to rename also indexes.
