As a workaround, you can run this in psql :
select 'grant select on ' || tablename || ' to ' || 'smith ;' from pg_tables where schemaname='public';
The above SQL will generate the DDL for all the tables in the schema "public" for instance.
You may want to direct your output which may be something like :
grant select on table1 to smith ;
grant select on table2 to smith ;
grant select on foo to smith ;
to a file and then run the file in psql to execute the grant statements.

Hi there, Ive google and searched the lists but havent found detailed instructions on how to give a user readly access to a schema. Is there a way to do this with out explictly granting the SELECT privilege on every table?
Thanks and regards,
Colin.
