One way to accomplish this is to create an SQL script to grant privileges to
all of your tables one at a time. Then you would simple have to start up a
psql session and enter: \i sqlscriptname.sql;

Subject: [NOVICE] How to GRANT SELECT on all tables?
Another noobish question.
I'm looking for the "moral equivalent" of the mythical
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE * TO PUBLIC
I.e. I'm looking for a way to grant SELECT privileges to PUBLIC on all
the tables, without having to specify all the table names.
Naively, I tried the subquery approach
GRANT SELECT
ON TABLE (SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname='public')
TO PUBLIC
but this failed too.
Thanks!
