Thanks to your last sentence, I ended up with the rather crude script
below that works for me (expect a lot of errors)

DBNAME=xxx
for s in `psql -t ${DBNAME} << EOD
SELECT 'DROP TRIGGER "' || t.tgname || '" ON ' || c.relname || ';'
FROM pg_trigger t, pg_class c
WHERE t.tgrelid = c.oid AND tgname like 'RI_ConstraintTrigger_%'
EOD`
do
echo $s
done|psql ${DBNAME}

Could maybe help others like me....

What's your opinion?
