The correct answer is "one or the other depending on which PG version
he's running" ;-). Before 7.3, drop the index; as of 7.3 you're
supposed to drop the constraint instead. (No harm in trying the wrong
one, it just won't let you do it.)

Looking at the output of psql's "\d b_prestamo" would be a good idea to
verify the spelling of the index and/or constraint name.
