Is there a command to drop tables whose name begins a specific string?

Drop table where tableName like 'backup_2007%'?
Thanks a lot!

constructed with EXECUTE.

BEGIN;
CREATE SCHEMA util;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION util.exec_all(objtype name, schname name,
objname name, cmd TEXT) RETURNS text AS $$
DECLARE
