Generate UTF-8 vs ANSI

[bmapes]

I'm using Entity Developer to generate database scripts. The scripts generated are UTF-8. Is there a setting to generate the scripts as ANSI instead?

Please describe a scenario when you need DDL script with ANSI encoding instead of UTF-8. Why this is required for your task?

We are generating Oracle table create scripts from our model. These scripts are to be run in SQL*Plus via the Windows command line. ANSI is supported but UTF-8 is not. There are some workarounds but none that are acceptable to our customers.

A few years ago we used a version of Entity Devleloper and we believe scripts were generated in ANSI. Maybe we were mistaken, I'm not sure.

We will investigate the question and notify you about the result.

Thanks. We appreciate it.

New build of Entity Developer 5.7.451 is available for download:

• The behaviour is changed: Generate Database Script From Model saves the output in ASCII format if there are no unicode symbols in the script; UTF-8 is used otherwise
