Grant Select on all Tables Owned By Specific User

Question

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 Sel         


        

Answer 1

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;
