Is anybody aware of a way to set the default encoding when saving a file to in SQL Server Management Studio to be ANSI instead of Unicode? Our source control system/diff tools barf when it runs across a Unicode file format.
I've googled a possible solution for this; but all I've found are examples to select the encoding when doing a "Save As..."; which works fine; but needs to be done every time I launch the program.
Is there a registry setting somewhere I could set? Has anybody else run into this and found a solution?
