Hi,

I'm running pgadmin 1.8.0 Beta 5 (rev: 6630:6631) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 against postgresql 8.2.3...

I've written a bunch of table create statements using the SQL editor tool and saved them as files... Then I used a php script to parse the files and run them against the database in a specific order. For some reason, at the beginning of each file are some hidden characters... 0xEF. 0xBB & 0xBF respectively. This seems odd to me. Of course, it caused errors when sending the contents of the files to the database. I'm now removing those characters before sending the sql to the database and it works fine now... but a bit of a pain in the ass. IMHO, they shouldn't be there in the first place. You can't see them when opening the file using pgadmin, but if you open the file using vim or something, you will see them there.

<EF><BB><BF> to be precise. Certainly confuses the shell, less does not recognise the file as a text file. I don't know whether this a cookie which associates the file with pgAdmin but I don't really think it's a bug.
