Hello, I'm getting the following error on Windows when I pipe a SQL file into the sqlite3.exe prebuilt command line utility and the SQL file contains a UTF-8 BOM (as create by Notepad.exe in Windows). > SQLITE3.EXE test.db < cleanup.sql Error: near line 1: near "": syntax error I believe there was a similar error reported a while ago, but that was from loading the SQL file from inside the utility which is not an option for me. Currently I place a comment in the beginning of the file to avoid it skipping the first SQL command. Any thoughts on how to avoid this? regards bjarke
