Hi Soraya,
unfortunately you're right.
The '//' has to be after a newline which cannot be generated via the SQL statement.
Sorry, I didn't thought that this would be a problem as one could use search and replace in a text editor to add the newline.
Anyhow, I made up a SQL solution that works as well:
select TEXT FROM (
        select rowno as LINE , '\\' as TEXT from tables
        where schemaname =<SCHEMANAME>
   union ALL
        select rowno as LINE, 'GRANT ALL ON ' || tablename || ' TO <ROLENAME>' as TEXT from tables
        where schemaname ='SAPSDB'
) order by LINE
What happens here is, that for each line a additional line containing just the "
" is fetched. To mix both resultsets together I sort it by the LINE-number.
Hope that is convinient to you
