Subject: Drop all indexes of a table w/o knowing the index names
Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 15:40:39 +0100
Message-ID: <20041109144039.1B2D313346@mail.golden.dom> (raw)

7.4.6 on Linux.

I need a way to drop all indexes of a table without knowing the names of the
indexes.

Say I have a table

table1
	index1
	index2
	index3

I don't want to do

drop index1;
drop index2;
drop index3;

but I want

drop <all indexes of table table1>

is this possible? I looked in the manual at pg_index, but couldn't build an
sql string to do it.

Thanks
