Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to grant select to a group to have "read-only"
group across all tables/views/.. in several schemas. I already found some
workarounds and I decided to create a function to cover this topic.
But calling this function throws the error:
""
ERROR:  column "´r´" does not exist
LINE 1: ...OM pg_class t, pg_namespace s WHERE t.relkind IN (´r´, ´v´,´...
                                                             ^
QUERY:   SELECT pg_catalog.quote_ident(s.nspname) AS schema_name,
pg_catalog.quote_ident(t.relname) AS relation_name FROM pg_class t,
pg_namespace s WHERE t.relkind IN (´r´, ´v´,´S´) AND t.relnamespace=s.oid AND
s.nspname = ´tisys´ order by s.nspname
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "grant_select_to_ro_group" line 5 at FOR over
SELECT rows
""

The function was created by:
""
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION grant_select_to_ro_group()
RETURNS TEXT AS '
DECLARE
    sql text;
    rel record;
BEGIN
    FOR rel IN SELECT pg_catalog.quote_ident(s.nspname) AS schema_name,
                      pg_catalog.quote_ident(t.relname) AS relation_name
        FROM pg_class t, pg_namespace s
        WHERE t.relkind IN (´r´, ´v´,´S´)
    AND t.relnamespace=s.oid AND s.nspname = ´tisys´ order by s.nspname
    LOOP sql := ''GRANT SELECT ON '' || rel.schema_name || ''.'' ||
rel.relation_name || '' TO ro_group'';
        RAISE NOTICE ''%'', sql;
        EXECUTE sql;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN ''OK'';
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
COMMENT ON FUNCTION grant_select_to_ro_group()
IS 'Give select privilege ON all relations in the given schema TO ro_group.';
""

...and has been called by:
""
select grant_select_to_ro_group();
""

any hints appreciated......GERD....
