Roger,

The alternative is to grant select any table to that user. Someday an
auditor will probably tell your boss you're incompetent, but take that as a
badge of honor.

If you are really serious about this, Asktom provides a workaround:

Another thought is to use roles. Have a practice that whenever a new table
is created, someone grants that table to the role. At least somebody has
reviewed the grant, and it isn't "hidden".

Security is often the bane of convenience.
