You don't want to GRANT on the database. That doesn't do what you think
it does. You, however, can do:

GRANT ALL ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO your_user;

This is documented clearly here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-grant.html

This is generally a bad idea.

You can alternatively make the user a super user:

ALTER ROLE your_user WITH SUPERUSER;

But this is an even worse idea.

If one role owns all the tables in that database, you can make your role
a member of that role:

GRANT owner_role TO your_role;

But are you really sure that your user needs permissions on everything?
