Hi,

In Firebird versions below 2, a GRANT ALL would create a single row
in the RDB$PRIVILEGES table with a privilege of "A" (all), while granting
each privilege would create a row for each privilege (eg: I = insert, U =
update).

It seems that in Firebird 2, GRANT ALL will create a row for each
available privilege.

What's the reason behind this change?
