Persistence extension doesn't handle certain special characters.

The persistence extension seems to choke when sql scripts (.sql files) contain certain characters.

1. If I put "©" in my statement it treats the ; as a terminator.
2. If I put a new line in my file, it treats that as a terminator.
3. If I put a / (e.g. </some-tag> from xml) in my SQL, it gets very confused.
