Like 'GRANT SELECT TO xxx ON SCHEMA SCOTT'? Good idea, but doesn't exist.

You can, however, right PL/SQL to loop through all objects in a schema and grant appropriate privileges to the target role

Something like:

procedure grant_all_objects(ip$role in varchar2)

    for r1 in (select object_type, object_name from user_objects where object_type in .... )

    loop

        case
        when r1.object_type = 'TABLE'
        then execute immediate 'grant select on ' || r1.object_name || ' to
' || ip$role;
        when r1.object_type in ('PROCEDURE','FUNCTION'...
