You can do it like this in psql:

\a
\t
\o /tmp/grant.sql
SELECT 'GRANT ALL ON ' || n.nspname || '.' || c.relname ||
' TO joe;'
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class AS c
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace AS n
ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE c.relkind IN ('r','v','S') AND
n.nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'pg_toast') AND
pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
ORDER BY n.nspname, c.relname;
\o
\i /tmp/grant.sql

The above could be put in a script and run from a Unix command prompt.

(The SQL used above is adaated from that used by psql's \d command.)
