You'll need to right a shell script or a server side function to do
this.

BTW - some people have talked about adding this feature in the past, and
I think that if the code were submitted it wouldn't be rejected, but
AFAIK the SQL standard doesn't support setting the privileges on more
than one table per command so it is low priority for the main
development team.
