The problem that cannot be solved with either this or a function that
loops and grants on each table is that it is not a permanent grant of what
the admin had in mind. If a new table is added or an existing table is
dropped and recreated, the grants must be done again. The real use of a
SELECT ANY TABLE permission is ignorance of schema updates.
