is it possible to force plsqldev to save files in UTF8 instead of local ANSI encoding?

it causes a lot of problems for us and I didn't find any settings responsible for that.

I even found an old topic where it was promised: https://forums.allroundautomations.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=36201

I use 9.0.4.1644 version.

Thanks!

Yes, you can go to Tools > Preferences > Files / Format and set the "Encoding" option to "Always UTF8".

I have been using UTF8 encoding successfully with PL/SQL Developer. Nevertheless, when i want to run a UTF8-encoded script in SQL*Plus, it complains because of the byte-order-mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file. The same happens with Oracle's SQL Developer. These tools do understand UTF8 WITHOUT BOM...

Would it be possible to add a checkbox "Without BOM" at the Encoding Preference? That would be really helpful.

I want checkbox "Without BOM" at the Save Dialog not only Encoding Preference.

It's vary useful in Japanese too.

This has been requested or discussed previously as well.

This is still an issue in 10 beta 9. Several times I have committed code which fails when deployed to a Linux environment because of this. I have to manually convert all files.

This should really be a simple issue if not an development language limitation.

Marco, can you implement a "no BOM" save file feature for UTF8?

BOM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark

I think we can still extend the file format preference for 10.0.0.

This would be awesome!

Hi!
Now I have 10.0.3.1701 version. But I can't found "no BOM" save file feature. I realy need for this. Help me please.

You can go to Tools > Preferences > Files / Format and set the "Encoding" option to "Always ANSI".

Marco, in this way file was not been UTF8. How I can save file in UTF8 without BOM?
