Thread: regarding grant option

hi all....
this is akhilesh from india.i just want to ask one thing regarding grant operation??
i am using pgsql 8.0 on ubuntu 5.10 linux.
just tell me the procedure that how can i grant all permissions for a database to any of the other user???
i am using :-
:->> grant all privileges on database <db_name> to <user_name>;
GRANT
:->> grant all ON DATABASE <db_name> to <user_name>;
GRANT

and the query executes succesfully.
but at the other user end, she is not able to access the database given in the above query.
here i have to grant permissions to that user individually for each and every table by using:
:->> grant ALL ON <tab_name> to <user_name>;
GRANT

and all the permissions are granted to that user for that particular table.

i want same results for the entire database.................
plz help me it's urgent

Yes.  If you are annoyed by having to type too many commands, you can
write a little shell script to do it for you.

There is none that can help you here, short of making a function in
PL/pgSQL or other language ...

Though, it is pretty easy to do something like:

select 'GRANT ALL ON ' || table_name || ' TO public;' from
information_schema.tables where table_schema='blah';

You can feed the output of that to psql, ei:

psql -qc "select 'GRANT ALL ON ' || table_name || ' TO public;' from
information_schema.tables where table_schema='blah'" | psql
