I need to grant select permission for all tables owned by a specific user to another user. Can I do this with a single command along the lines of:
Grant Select on OwningUser.* to ReceivingUser
Or do I have to generate the sql for each table with something along the lines of:
Select 'GRANT SELECT ON OwningUser.'||Table_Name||'TO ReceivingUser'
From All_Tables Where Owner='OWNINGUSER'
Well, it's not a single statement, but it's about as close as you can get with oracle:
BEGIN
FOR R IN (SELECT owner, table_name FROM all_tables WHERE owner='TheOwner') LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'grant select on '||R.owner||'.'||R.table_name||' to TheUser';
END LOOP;
END;
