If it is in the same database cluster, you can use CREATE DATABASE newdb TEMPLATE olddb; Make sure nobody is connected to "olddb" when you do that. If you want to clone a whole database cluster, you can run pg_basebackup -D /new/cluster/directory --wal-method=stream and recover the new cluster with "restore_command = 'true'".
