I think that you get the concept wrong. You cannot select from a database, you can only select from a table (or view). You probably mean 'select permissions for all tables in a database'. There is no such thing. Permissions are stored on the objects themselves, so a table "knows" who is allowed to access it. For what you want, you must give the user a) permissions on all individual tables he/she should access b) USAGE privilege on the Schemata c) CONNECT privilege to the database.
