Re: read only user

As a workaround, you can run this in psql :

select 'grant select on ' || tablename || ' to ' || 'smith ;'
from pg_tables where schemaname='public';

The above SQL will generate the DDL for all the tables in the schema
"public" for instance.

You may want to direct your output which may be something like :

grant select on table1 to smith ;
grant select on table2 to smith ;
grant select on foo to smith ;

to a file and then run the file in psql to execute the grant statements.

Hi there, Ive google and searched the lists but havent found detailed
instructions on how to give a user readly access to a schema. Is there a
way to do this with out explictly granting the SELECT privilege on every
table?

Thanks and regards,
Colin.
