Thread: grant select on all tables of a schema

Hi,

is it possible to 'GRANT <WHATEVER> ON ALL TABLES' in 1 command ?

I'm using 7.3.2

TIA

Not unless you write your own function to do it. The GRANT command
only works on one object at a time.

For this case of problem, I find it great to generate scripts out of the
catalog(here for the current schema):

SELECT 'GRANT <WHATEVER> ON '||tablename||' TO <WHOEVER>;'
FROM pg_tables
WHERE
schemaname = current_schema();

This way, you can speed up such Problems a lot, and you are still flexible.
Sure, you can put this into a function as well, and run the SQL dynamically.
(But I rather have allok at the generated statements before I run them.
