You have to GRANT whatever permissions are needed to the user the web
server run as. vis:-
grant select on school to nobody;
grant select on school_number_seq to nobody;
This enable the web server, which runs as 'nobody' to select and read from
the database.
school=# select relacl from pg_class where relname = 'school';
relacl
