- BOM
Bytes placed first in a text file to signal its encoding. Fine-tuning data should be saved as UTF-8 with a BOM, keeping each file below 512 MB; ASCII, UTF-16 or ISO-8859-1 files risk failing validation.
- json data type
SQL's built-in type for holding JSON. It accepts well-formed objects and arrays only, parsing them and saving them as UTF-8 binary. The other choice is keeping JSON as
nvarchar(max)text.
