Description

I need to be able to store (for example) the contents of http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt in an NTEXT field in an SQL Server database generated with ddlutils.

I'll try to make a patch.

Hibernate does it using another "dialect", which is analogous to a ddlutils "platform", if i understand correctly: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/MSSQL+Tips#MSSQLTips-MSSQLandUnicode.

I'm thinking of two possibilites: either a new platform like hibernate called something like "unicodemssql" , or some way to send a parameter into the MSSqlPlatform or MSSqlBuilder.
