[SQL] Drop all indexes of a table w/o knowing the index names

[Giulio Orsero]

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 

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

Thanks
