Actually I don't want a mass (table level?) grant. I'm looking for a way to
granting users access on a database level. I want a database level grant. I
don't need it, it's just a want :).

Because my assumption is if new tables (etc) are created after a manual
mass grant, the nonowner won't have access to them.

Am I trying to do things the wrong way tho?
