How do I grant all privileges for a schema that has a large number of
existing tables, procedures, functions, etc to a newly created role,
without having to issue a grant statement for each object and each
privilege? I want the role to have all of the rights of the schema
owner.

Is there any kind of blanket granting of all privileges to a role?

Like 'GRANT SELECT TO xxx ON SCHEMA SCOTT'? Good idea, but doesn't exist.

You can, however, right PL/SQL to loop through all objects in a schema and
grant appropriate privileges to the target role

Something like:

procedure grant_all_objects(ip$role in varchar2)
for r1 in (select object_type, object_name from user_objects where
object_type in .... )
loop
case
when r1.object_type = 'TABLE'
then execute immediate 'grant select on ' || r1.object_name || ' to
' || ip$role;
when r1.object_type in ('PROCEDURE','FUNCTION'...

++ mcs
