In the following I use "schema" in the PostgreSQL meaning of
the word.
I can think of two solutions:
1) Set the search_path of the users so that it contains the schemas
that contain the needed objects and grant them privileges on the
objects and schemas.
2) If for some reason that seems undesirable, you can use a
view as substitute for an Oracle schema object.
