i beleive you have to recreate the constraints, if the table is created using CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT .. FROM ANOTHER_TABLE.

not in CTAS(except for explicit NOT NULL constraints). Either you can ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT after the CTAS is done or you can reverse engineer the CREATE TABLE statement,create the table and then do a INSERT INTO ..Select * from .
