Body
Grants in PostgreSQL are not recursive; a <code>GRANT</code> on the database sets rights to the database object but does not affect the contained schemas or their tables, views, functions, etc. Granting <code>ALL PRIVELEGES</code> on the database grants <code>CREATE</code>, <code>CONNECT</code> and <code>TEMPORARY</code> rights. See <code>\h GRANT</code> in psql, or <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/sql-grant.html" rel="nofollow">the documentation for <code>GRANT</code> in 8.4</a>, to see what <code>ALL PRIVILEGES</code> means for <code>DATABASE</code>: <pre><code>GRANT { { CREATE | CONNECT | TEMPORARY | TEMP } [, ...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] } ON DATABASE database_name [, ...] TO { [ GROUP ] role_name | PUBLIC } [, ...] [ WITH GRANT OPTION ] </code></pre> There are plpgsql functions and various 3rd party scripts available that use <code>pg_catalog</code> or <code>information_schema</code> to dynamically build <code>GRANT</code>s and recursively set rights. Search for "postgresql recursive grant". These will not help you set default access rights for new tables. PostgreSQL doe have <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html" rel="nofollow">ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES</a> to allow you to set the default table rights for new tables, but it's only supported in Pg 9.1 and newer. Explicit <code>GRANT</code>s are required for each table in older versions or when permissions are to be set after table creation. Newer versions, as you noted, have facilities for multiple grants via <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-grant.html" rel="nofollow"><code>GRANT ... ALL TABLES</code></a>, but your question is specific to 8.4.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
