Here's what I did, using psql:
 
First you need to build the grant statements.  This is done using select statements against pg_class ( system catalog that stores name along with other information about each table, view, sequence in your database ).  The output is passed to a file with the \o command.  The file will contain the GRANT statement for each object according to your search condition described in the WHERE clause.  Run the new file at the psql prompt with the \i command and you are done.  I saved both the psql command line script to build the grant statements and the resulting sql to grant relevant permission as system files that I can run any time I build or re-build a database.
 
Connect to your database using psql as the user who owns the objects which you want to grant permissions on.  Be sure to set the appropriate permission level by using the correct keyword ( one of Select, Update, Insert, Delete or All ) after GRANT.  Be sure you have write permissions to the local directory where you are saving the resulting file(s):
 
      \t                                              # -- turns of headings so the don't get in the file
      \o /<local directory(ies)>/grants_tabtouser.sql 
      SELECT 'GRANT { SELECT | UPDATE | INSERT | DELETE | ALL } ON ' || relname || ' TO <username or keyword PUBLIC>;'
      FROM pg_class
      WHERE relkind ='r'                     # -- use = 'v' for views and = 'S' for sequences or IN ( 'r','v','S' ) for all
            AND relowner IN (                 # -- remove this clause to generate grants on all objects.  Must be superuser!
                                SELECT usesysid
                                FROM pg_user
                                WHERE usename = current_user )
    \g                                                # -- execute
    \o                                                # -- end output to file
    \t                                                 # -- turns headings back on
 
then run the sql to issue the grants. Warning, you may wish to examine the grants_tabtouser.sql file first using your favorite editor.  Alternatively, you could run the query in the first step without output to file turned on and examine the results on the screen:
 
    \i /<local directory(ies)>/grants_tabtouser.sql

Is there a shortcut to grant a privilege on all tables or views or both of a database instead of once a table or view?

Thanks in advance,

Personally I solved this using plpgsql:

-- usage: SELECT grant_all('privilidge', 'user');
-- grants privilidge (SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE or ALL) to the user
-- for all non-pg_ objects in the database (except indices).

DROP FUNCTION grant_all(text, text);
CREATE FUNCTION grant_all(text, text) RETURNS boolean AS '
DECLARE item RECORD; priv ALIAS FOR $1; user ALIAS FOR $2;
BEGIN  FOR item IN SELECT * FROM pg_class    WHERE relname !~ ''^pg_''    AND relkind <> ''i'' LOOP   EXECUTE ''GRANT
''|| priv      || '' ON '' || quote_ident(item.relname)     || '' TO '' || quote_ident(user); END LOOP; RETURN ''t''; 
END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

DROP FUNCTION grant_all_tables(text, text);
CREATE FUNCTION grant_all_tables(text, text) RETURNS boolean AS '
DECLARE item RECORD; priv ALIAS FOR $1; user ALIAS FOR $2;
BEGIN FOR item IN SELECT * FROM pg_class    WHERE relname !~ ''^pg_''   AND relkind = ''r'' LOOP   EXECUTE ''GRANT ''
||priv     || '' ON '' || quote_ident(item.relname)     || '' TO '' || quote_ident(user); END LOOP; RETURN ''t''; 
END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

DROP FUNCTION grant_all_tables_and_views(text, text);
CREATE FUNCTION grant_all_tables_and_views(text, text) RETURNS boolean AS '
DECLARE item RECORD; priv ALIAS FOR $1; user ALIAS FOR $2;
BEGIN FOR item IN SELECT * FROM pg_class   WHERE relname !~ ''^pg_''   AND relkind  IN (''r'', ''v'') LOOP   EXECUTE
''GRANT'' || priv     || '' ON '' || quote_ident(item.relname)     || '' TO '' || quote_ident(user); END LOOP; RETURN
''t'';
END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

Andrew,

That's a nice solution.  Was wondering if you think its feasible to do the
same, but as only one function with an additional parameter for relation
type ( table, view, sequence, all ).

Also, say I have tables owned by different users ( ie some tables owned by a
taskmanager process and others owned by web application ) and I only want to
issue grants on objects owned by one of these users?

Thanks,

Paul Ogden
