You do not normally want to grant everyone all access to everything.
Most people for whom security is of no concern could simply log in as
SYSDBA (which has rights to everything).

But if you did want to head down that road, surely it would not be too
hard to create a stored procedure. This procedure could run a for
select loop through RDB$RELATIONS, then use the EXECUTE STATEMENT
syntax (see FB 1.5 Release notes) to do the grant.

Then execute the procedure and commit.
