Grant to all tables on my schema

Question

I am fairly new to Oracle and I need to grant "select, update, insert on all mytalbes to roleone, then grant that role to all my users.
well, I have about 50 tables and 20 users.
So far the most automated way I have come up with is:
grant select, update, insert on table1 to role1;
then I after that, I do:
grant role1 to userone;
I am sure there is a way to do this in some sort of procedure. I dont have DBA privs. I own all of the tables on my schema and those are the ones that I need to grant the privs to users.
would you guys show me how to do this?
thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

You have to grant the privileges on each table to the role and then grant the role to each user, so you need 70 GRANT statements. You can write some dynamic SQL to generate the grants, though
DECLARE
  sqlStmt VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
  FOR x IN (SELECT * FROM user_tables)
  LOOP
    sqlStmt := 'GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT ON ' || x.table_name || ' TO role1';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlStmt;
  END LOOP;
END;
DECLARE
  sqlStmt VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
  FOR x IN (SELECT * FROM dba_users)
  LOOP
    sqlStmt := 'GRANT role1 TO ' || x.username;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlStmt;
  END LOOP;
END;Justin
