Re: GRANT on all tables?

Can't remember where I found this but its worked in the past for
granting privileges to all tables in a DB to a user.

./psql -t -A -U $OWNER -W -c "select tablename from pg_tables
where tablename not like 'pg_%'" $mydatabase | xargs -i ./psql -U
$OWNER -W -c "grant ALL on {} to $NEWUSER" $mydatabase
