Do I understand correctly that if a role was assigned countless object privileges and you want to delete that role you have to sift through a myriad of privilege grants in what amounts to a time consuming trial and error exercise until you've got them all?

Or is there a single command that with just delete the role and do a blanket grant removal at the same time?
