title: SQL file encoding in Visual Studio
body: <p>When we create stored procedures in Visual Studio (with the extension .sql) the file encoding is automatically set to 'Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) - Codepage 65001'.</p>
  
  <p>This causes ours DBA's problems as their scripts don't like it.</p>
  
  <p>We have to manually go in and change them to 'Western European (windows) - Codepage 1252'.</p>
  
  <p>This only seems to be happening since we upgraded to VS 2008 from 2005. Can anyone explain whats going on and how to stop it?</p>
