\h GRANT
and you will get all the Grant options:
GRANT { { CREATE | TEMPORARY | TEMP } [,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON DATABASE dbname [, ...]
TO { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...] [ WITH GRANT OPTION ]
This will grant the privileges on all tables under the database ....

It seems like it should be a very easy problem to solve I just need one role to have select privileges on all the tables of a particular schema or database including any new tables that are created since they are created programmatically daily. I've combed google and the docs to no avail. Do I need to write pg/plsql scripts just to so something like that?? I believe on other dbms you can just say grant all on schema.* or something to that effect. The script i found below would be ok if tables weren't being created constantly.
using version 8.1.4
