Re: Revoke privilege from multiple tables

We don't have per-db grant/revoke capabilities.  You could create a
plpgsql function that does the grant/revokes for an arbitrary table
name, then call the function on all the pg_class object, skipping the
system tables, of course.  I think there are some examples on the
plpgsql cookbook web page referenced on the techdocs web site.

This is becoming an FAQ, folks.
