The charset to use while reading .sql files.

Configuration Options

Option: ‘UTF-8’

The default value of the sqlFilesCharset configuration option is UTF-8 which should work on most systems.

Option: ‘ISO-8859-1’

Changing the sqlFilesCharset configuration option to ISO-8859-1 configures YoSQL to use the ISO-8859-1 charset while reading your .sql files.
