Description:
hexdump Creates.sql |less

0000000 feff 002d 002d 0020 002d 002d 002d 002d

How to repeat:
create a table, File, Export, SQL Script, save.
Look at file, see first 2 bytes arn't normal text.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.  Indeed they seem strange, but there might be a reason for it.  Can any of you confirm if this is a bug or not ?

Thanks!

This is the Unicode header (BOM). It should be recognized by all editors that support unicode.

We are also going to add an ANSI export in one of the next versions.

This works as designed. Unicode files should always have a BOM as marker. ANSI export will be done later.
