Encodings for SQL Databases

[Peck, Jon]

Most of the major databases now support Unicode at some level, but what is
the best way to encode SQL statements for various database access apis?  Is
utf-8 expected/accepted?  The context in which I am asking this question is
an application that exports various SQL rules for modeling purposes.  These
might go to a file, or they might be passed to a database directly by the
calling application.  Relevant platforms include Windows and all the major
Unixes.

Thanks for any advice you can provide.
