Dear Etienne
The code is working! But I missed initial steps.
1. You must have one or many vector layers inside QGIS.
2. Upload these layers with drag and drop to the postgres DB.
3. Dowload these layers from the postgres DB.
4. Create styles or load styles from style files (*.qml) to the layers.
For many style files there is a nice extention available « Layer Stayle Loader »
5. Run the code below in the Python-Console. Take care the code still has
the appopriate indents ! When you then load such a layer again from postgres DB
then the style is loaded as well.
mapGeometryType = {
0: "Point",
1: "Line",
2: "Polygon",
3: "UnknownGeometry",
4: "NullGeometry",
}
layers = QgsProject.instance().mapLayers()
for layer in layers.values():
if layer.type() == QgsMapLayer.VectorLayer:
if mapGeometryType[layer.geometryType()] != "NullGeometry":
layer.deleteStyleFromDatabase
layer.saveStyleToDatabase(name=layer.name(),description="Default
style for {}".format(layer.name()), useAsDefault=True, uiFileContent="")
P.S.
I tested it with the beautiful dataset from the Swiss Topo,
<https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/landeskarte-swiss-map-vector-10#Weiterf%C3%BChrende-Informationen->
Swiss Map Vector 10. It’s free!
Many thanks to all of you!

Postgres DB
The code from Jorge does the job for ALL layers in the current project, can you
describe your issue Peter ?

Hi Jorge
For me it is too minimal with this code alone. Would it be possible to describe
how to run it when I have 65 Layers with styles and like to bring it all with
styles to the postgres DB?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is the code I use (since some years ago...) to write styles from all
layers to the database:
mapGeometryType = {
0: "Point",
1: "Line",
2: "Polygon",
3: "UnknownGeometry",
4: "NullGeometry",
}
layers = QgsProject.instance().mapLayers()
for layer in layers.values():
if layer.type() == QgsMapLayer.VectorLayer:
if mapGeometryType[layer.geometryType()] != "NullGeometry":
layer.deleteStyleFromDatabase
layer.saveStyleToDatabase(name= <http://layer.name>
layer.name(),description="Default style for {}".format( <http://layer.name>
layer.name()), useAsDefault=True, uiFileContent="")
Since we are writing all with the flag "default style" there is no need to load
them when opening the project.
Regards,
Jorge Gustavo

Hello Peter,
everything that users do in QGis can be done by Python scripts, including your
steps listed below.
There are some difficulties for the desired "one step" solution, f. e. the name
of the file-based layer must be converted in a valid and unique postgis
table-name, the fields of the file-based layer must be stored with valid
postgis field-types and -names and so on...
Taking into account all special features, exceptions and necessary settings,
this results in a rather complex program, the implementation of which may be
more complex than the manual implementation in QGis...
Just my two cents...

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.
