When creating new table in sqllite db via Flex it become encoded as "utf-16le"

Question

Hi Guys
I have some annoying problem with my AIR application
The application is communicating with a local DB (sqllite).
as part of initial installation I'm checking if the db exist.
in case not then:
I create one (file)
create the relevent tables inside
and populate them.
For some reason, on the tables creation step the sqllite db become encoded as UTF-16le instead of UTF-8.
The question is how can I make the tables creation step to leave the db as UTF-8
thanks in advance for your help.
This is my creation code
the "connection" is from flash.data.SQLConnection type
The "file" contain the following information
<sql>
<statement>
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS MYTABLE
      MYTABLE_VERSION                NUMBER NOT NULL,
       MYTA|BLE_INSERT_DATE                 DATE NOT NULL
</statement></sql>
The below is the relevent code:
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
            stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
            var xml:XML = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable));
            stream.close();
            var statement:XML = null;
            try
                connection.begin(lockType);
                for each (statement in xml.statement)
                    var stmt:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
                    stmt.sqlConnection = connection;
                    stmt.text = statement;
                    stmt.execute();           
            } catch(err:Error)
                connection.rollback();
                throw err;
            connection.commit();

It doesn't look like you're using DBSequence domain for the OrderLinesId attribute. If you are then you do not need to fill in the sequence as you've done in the create method.
Getting back to create issue, You may want to set the 'order' id (foreign key) values before calling super and then call the getOrder() (or getXXX where XXX is the order accessor in this entity) method to verify if the order of the given ID exists/found in the cache.
By the way, are you also using a similar create() in order with DBSequence as the type for the pK and you force a sequence value on top of it via setAttribute?
Yes, this is the create method inside CrpOrderLinesImpl.java
protected void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
SequenceImpl s = new SequenceImpl("CRP_ORDER_LINES_ID_SEQ", getDBTransaction());
setAttribute("OrderLinesId",s.getSequenceNumber());
