Hi every body

there is some way to delete or rename an index only if this index exists?

something like

"alter index index rename to pepe if exists"

for drop - yes:

DROP INDEX IF EXISTS name;

for rename - there is no simple solution. well, actually there are solutions but they are more complicated than the problem.

(think of user defined functions)
