Hi all. If we save a file in the same folder and with the same name as a vector layer, that style is used automagically every time the layer is opened (which is good). How could one do the same for a PostGIS layer? All the best, and thanks for any suggestion.
It is a good question. But it is a bit complex. Because a table is not like a file. Infact if for a shapefile (a file) the style is in another file. Maintaining the same paradigm, for a table the style must be in another table. But for a style-file is more simple use it. Is sufficient to decide of use another extension. (.sty for example) For a table, the style cannot be another table with the same name. So the choice of others products was to use a unique table (with a fixed name), usable for all the tables of the schema. This is quite simple conceptually, but is heavy as choice because need to establish that in a postgis-enabled schema must be available a specific table with a specific name. In ArcSDE for example, esri use a set of tables gdb_* , one of they is for the rendering. However is qgis could have an autostyle in a table for postgres/postgis (and spatialite also) , it will be a great feature.
