how do I grant select to one user for all tables in a DB? - Mailing list pgsql-general

V9.1.5 on linux

User "select" created (yup, that's right, they want the user name to be "select".  Guess what ptivs it is to have! Don't kill the messanger :-) )

postgres=# grant select on all tables in schema sde to "select";

ERROR:  schema "sde" does not exist

postgres=# \l

insert    |                                                | {}

pgdbadm   | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}

select    |                                                | {}

Bottom line is that I want this "select" user to be able to query all tables yet to be created in the DB without having to issue grant statments after table craation.  But just select, no more.

Thanks in Advance !
