There are serveral steps necessary to store from QGIS a vector layer with
his style in a postgres DB. For a big amout of layers this is impracticaI.

 

Therfore I would do this in one step from QGIS. Is this in any way possible?

The several step procedure:

*  Load the layer: Import the layer from a vector file into QGIS.

*  Rename (if necessary): Give the layer an appropriate name.

*  Transfer the layer to Postgres: Drag the layer into the PostgreSQL
database. You will find it there with the specific name.

*  Load the layer from Postgres: Import it back from the PostgreSQL database
into QGIS.

*  Assign the style: Copy the style from the original layer and assign it to
the Postgres layer loaded in QGIS.

*  Export the style: Export the style of the Postgres layer. You will now
find an option to save the style with the exact name of the layer in the
PostgreSQL database.

*  Delete old layers and reload: Delete all associated layers and reload the
layer from the PostgreSQL database.
