I was wondering, is there any good way to drop a constraint? Currently, I am 
making assumption on the check constraint name.

ALTER TABLE backup_table ADD CHECK (fk_lot_id = 99);

If I want to drop the above CHECK constraint, I will do

ALTER TABLE backup_table DROP CONSTRAINT backup_table_fk_lot_id_check; (I 
assume the constraint name will be backup_table_fk_lot_id_check)

Is there any more robust way?

Name your constraints:

ALTER TABLE backup_table ADD CONSTRAINT lot_id_ck CHECK (fk_lot_id = 99)


Alternatively, you can get a list of constraints for your table from the catalog:

SELECT conname
  FROM pg_constraint
 WHERE conrelid = 'backup_table'::regclass

You may have to add more conditions to the query.
