the simplest way is to make dbuser the OWNER of the database, and have
him create all the tables too, then he automatically has full rights to it.
there are also various scripts that can be used to enumerate objects and
grant specific privileges...
http://pgedit.com/public/sql/acl_admin/index.html
http://unf.be/postgresql/postgres_grant_all.perl
http://www.archonet.com/pgdocs/grant-all.html
in general, DATABASE privileges relate to connecting to that database,
and having the rights to create schemas in that database.
SCHEMA privileges grant the rights to connect to a schema, and
create/modify schemas
table/view/etc privileges grant the rights to select/insert/update/etc
the mentioned tables.
see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-grant.html for
more specifics.
