Question

I created a new table in the database but whenever I try to access it with an existing PHP system I get the following error message: permission denied for relation myTable

When I check in the connect file in PHP they connect like this $conn = pg_Connect("","","","","database"); which I think is not the best way to connect to a database, but I can’t change this for a couple of reasons.

Ho can I grant priveliges to myTable in Postgres for an unknown user?

This is what I was thinking

database=> grant all on myTable to "";

Is this the correct way to go?

You could try:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
   ON yourtable
   TO public;

Or:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
   ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public
   TO public;

Documentation.

Be wary of giving more permissions than needed to anonymous users, though.
