this,or does a table need to exist before a user can be granted rights to it, and users must be explicitly granted
rightsto each table and not in a 'global' way. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
You will need to grant select access to tables and sequences individually
after they are created. You might also consider using groups so that you
can more easily add and remove user access.
