Why do you think you need to do that?  Most catalogs have public
select privilege already, and for the ones that don't, there are
very good reasons why not.  I don't know what "Toad Data point"
is, but if it thinks it needs more privilege than is normally
granted, you should be asking very pointed questions about why
and why that shouldn't be considered a security breach.

(Usually we get complaints that the default permissions on the
catalogs are too loose, not too tight.)
