1. Permissons on database

   Boulat Khakimov <boulat@inet-interactif.com> — 2001-03-06T17:00:47Z

   Hi,
   
   How do I grant permissions on everything in the selected databes? 
   
   GRANT doesnt take as on object database name nor does it accept wild
   chars....

   By hand at the moment I'm afraid. There is no GRANT ALL ON ALL...
   
   Having said that, if you have plpgsql enabled on that database you could 
   write a simple loop to do so for you. If you'd find one useful let me 
   know and I'll knock one up.

   Attached is some Perl code I wrote long ago to do this.  This
   particular code was done for Keystone, a problem tracking database and
   it would do a "GRANT ALL".  Modify it as needed.  Last I checked it
   worked with both PostgreSQL 6.5.x and 7.0.x

   Are you looking for "grant all to public" or "grant select to public"?

   A simple two-line shell script to apply any command to a list of tables:
   
   for i in `psql mydatabase -c '\dt' -P tuples_only | cut -f2 -d ' '`
   do psql mydatabase -c "grant all on $i to public"; done

   These mailing list footers really suck. Please consider removing them.
   They reflect poorly on the general level of the pgsql-* lists. Instead
   do send a one-time "welcome" message containing all your "tips" when
   people subscribe to a list.
   
   Probably a lost cause but the subject mangling [GENERAL], [HACKERS] etc.
   (especially that one! a "hacker" should know how to filter his mail)
   really sucks too. 
   
   Educate, don't stoop. Even Outlook Express has great filtering
   capabilities which don't require any subject mangling.
