Grant Select on all Tables Owned By Specific User

I need to grant select permission for all tables owned by a specific user to another user. Can I do this with a single command along the lines of:

Grant Select on OwningUser.* to ReceivingUser

Or do I have to generate the sql for each table with something along the lines of:

 Select 'GRANT SELECT ON OwningUser.'||Table_Name||'TO ReceivingUser' 
 From All_Tables Where Owner='OWNINGUSER'
oracle

Well, it's not a single statement, but it's about as close as you can get with oracle:

BEGIN
   FOR R IN (SELECT owner, table_name FROM all_tables WHERE owner='TheOwner') LOOP
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'grant select on '||R.owner||'.'||R.table_name||' to TheUser';
   END LOOP;
END;

From http://psoug.org/reference/roles.html, create a procedure on your database for your user to do it:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GRANT_SELECT(to_user in varchar2) AS

  CURSOR ut_cur IS SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;

  RetVal  NUMBER;
  sCursor INT;
  sqlstr  VARCHAR2(250);

BEGIN
    FOR ut_rec IN ut_cur
    LOOP
      sqlstr := 'GRANT SELECT ON '|| ut_rec.table_name || ' TO ' || to_user;
      sCursor := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
      dbms_sql.parse(sCursor,sqlstr, dbms_sql.native);
      RetVal := dbms_sql.execute(sCursor);
      dbms_sql.close_cursor(sCursor);

    END LOOP;
END grant_select;
