Re: regarding grant option

hi all....
this is akhilesh from india.i just want to ask one thing regarding grant
operation??
i am using pgsql 8.0 on ubuntu 5.10 linux.
just tell me the procedure that how can i grant all permissions for a
database to any of the other user???
i am using :-
:->> grant all privileges on database <db_name> to <user_name>;
GRANT
:->> grant all ON DATABASE <db_name> to <user_name>;
GRANT

and the query executes succesfully.
but at the other user end, she is not able to access the database given in
the above query.
here i have to grant permissions to that user individually for each and
every table by using:
:->> grant ALL ON <tab_name> to <user_name>;
GRANT

and all the permissions are granted to that user for that particular table.

Can the user connect to the database at all? Is she getting an
error message? If so, what's the error and at what point in the
connection is she getting it? What did she do immediately prior
to getting the error? Do the server logs contain any error messages?
If so, what are they?

If the user can't even connect then the problem is likely with
pg_hba.conf. See "Client Authentication" in the documentation for
more information:

Yes. If you are annoyed by having to type too many commands, you can
write a little shell script to do it for you.

There is none that can help you here, short of making a function in
PL/pgSQL or other language ...

Though, it is pretty easy to do something like:

select 'GRANT ALL ON ' || table_name || ' TO public;' from
information_schema.tables where table_schema='blah';

You can feed the output of that to psql, ei:

psql -qc "select 'GRANT ALL ON ' || table_name || ' TO public;' from
information_schema.tables where table_schema='blah'" | psql
