RE: [SQL] Granting select on ALL tables at once

I use the following technique a lot:

-- create a file containing a bunch of grant commands
\g grant_all.sql
select (('GRANT ALL ON ' || relname) || ' TO PUBLIC;') as "-- grant"
FROM pg_class WHERE relkind = 'r' and substr(relname,1,3) <> 'pg_'
order by relname; -- table and views
\g
-- execute the file of grant commends
\i grant_all.sql

Subject: [SQL] Granting select on ALL tables at once

Is there a way to grant a select to a user on all tables. So far,
I've
only been able to do this table by table.

Thanks.
