Sorry for the noise in my previous posting. I didn't see the post
explaining it was a Oracle based layer. I don't use Oracle, but
the following works for postgres in QGIS 2.0:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Style the layer</li>
<li>Push the Layer properties -> Style -> Save Style
button. It will show a drop-down list with 3 choices: "QGIS
Layer style file", "SLD file", "Save style in database
(Postgres)". Choose "Save style in database (Postgres)"</li>
</ul>
I don't know if the "Save style in database..." option exists for
Oracle. It doesn't exist for MS-SQLServer. Make a feature request
if it doesn't. It can't be a major exercise to convert the
postgres specific code to oracle specific code for this function.
<br>
<br>
As a last resort you can make a "standard" project file. When the
users want add a Oracle layer they can use this project file from
the "Layer" -> "Embed layers and groups", choose the project
file you created, and choose the oracle layer from this "standard"
project to embed into their own project.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Richard,
<div>That's useful to know, however I was planning on using it
with Oracle layers so it wouldn't work for me. Basically what
we do with ArcMap (.lyr) and MapInfo (.tab) is create links to
data which we share on a network drive so that our users can
easily access our data pre-styled. It works quite well so if
we go toward QGIS we'd want to use it there too.<br>

Hi Jonathan,<br>
<br>
one 'hidden' feature is that if you save a style as a
qml file next to<br>
your data (shape file), and name it exactly the same as
your shape,<br>
loading the shp in qgis will load the style with it.<br>
<br>
BUT: only working with filebased data, and NOT saving
your extent I think.<br>
<br>
You can save a project, and use it as a template. And if
I recall<br>
correct there was some way to use one project as a
subprobject for<br>
another one, but I cannot find it anymore...<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
