I am looking for the equivalent setting as the PGADMIN setting Write BOM for UTF files which will cause saved files to be saved with/without the BOM.

I've found settings in DBeaver when exporting data, but nothing that would configure new (or existing) files to be saved without the BOM.

enter image description here

How do I configure DBeaver to save files without a BOM for UTF files/

  • What are you using on these files that is too stupid to understand the BOM? Why not just cut it out after the fact if you must -- it's the first 3 bytes.

    @EvanCarroll: probably psql ;)

  • @a_horse_with_no_name seems to work fine for me with -f file and < file

  • yes, psql. And the questions is for configuring DBeaver. There are numerous ways to alter the file after the fact, which is what I'm doing now.

  • Can you also configure to import CSV files with/without BOM?

Using sed

You can always cut out three bytes (the bom) with sed

sed -i '1 s/^\xef\xbb\xbf//' *.txt

That'll actually do it in place.
