Hi Charles,
It gives the bytes as returned by the plugin without being
converted, encoded etc.
It used to be the only way to get a sensible date from an ODBC cursor.
When converting to the bits to Hex or ASCII, you need to watch the
endianess of the OS that you are running on and do some byte swapping.
I have found that with newer plugins DatabaseField.NativeValue is
hardly ever needed.

Aha. Thanks.
