Jonathan -
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:
* Style the layer
* 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)"
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.
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.

Hi Richard,
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.
Cheers,
Jonathan

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