Checking if index already exists

hobsonMay 3 2004 — edited May 3 2004

Hello
Im new to Oracle, so please dont blame me if this question is stupid.

I need a way to find out if index already exists before dropping it. As far as I remember with some DBMS was possible to execute query like:

IF EXISTS index_on_column1 DROP INDEX index_on_column1;

I need to know how to do the same thing with Oracle 9i r2.

thx in advance
Hobson
