Re: How to create a read only user account to access to all pg database?

Hi,

Assuming you have only the public schema in use per database (usually the
case). In each database run the following SQL:
CREATE ROLE backup WITH LOGIN;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO backup;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO backup;

After that, adjust the file PostgreSQL configuration file pg_hba.conf to
allow appropriate access for newly create ROLE backup.

Yours,
Ville
