Re: Granting privileges on all tables,sequences , views, procedures - Mailing list pgsql-general

Per 8.0 documentation, in order to ALTER a table (including rename), you have to be the owner of a table:

"You must own the table to use ALTER TABLE; except for ALTER TABLE OWNER, which may only be executed by a superuser."

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/sql-altertable.html

If you want to grant ownership of every table in a database to a specific user, you should be able to:

SELECT exec('alter table '||table_name||' OWNER TO {user}') FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='{schema}'

{user} = the user you want to grant to (looks like 'neha' in your case)

{schema} = schema search path for your database (probably 'public' if you haven't changed it)

Dear all,

Today I grant a user all privileges to all tables in  a database by

grant all privileges on   svo_data_social to neha ;              grant all privileges on   svo_phrases to neha ;
.. . .....
.....
...

Now i find it very uncomfort   to grant privileges one by one table.

Is there a simple way to grant privileges on all tables, views, sequences etc in a database.

Also , after granting all privileges , rename command is not granted.

Is it impossible to grant alter & drop privileges to user which is granted to only the user who created the object.

What is ALL privileges comprised of ?


Thanks
