you can also do it by a shell script

grantall.sh:
###### start of grantall.sh #######
#!/bin/ash
SQL="SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE (relkind = 'r' OR relkind = 'S')
AND relname !~ '^pg_' ORDER BY relname"
OBJ=`psql -t -c "${SQL}" $1`
# OBJ=`echo ${OBJ} | sed 's/EOF//g'`
OBJ=`echo ${OBJ} | sed 's/ /, /g'`
# SQL="REVOKE ALL ON ${OBJ} FROM PUBLIC"
SQL="GRANT ALL ON ${OBJ} TO PUBLIC"
echo ${SQL}
psql -c "${SQL}" $1
###### end of grantall.sh #######

syntax: grantall.sh name_of_database
