read only user

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.

Hi Colin,

If its a one-off I usually do this in pgadmin3 by right clicking on the
schema and doing the grant wizard from there.

Regards

Walter

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.
