public class DataField
extends DocsumField

Class representing a data field in the result set. a data field is basically the same thing as a string field, only that we treat it like a raw buffer. Well we SHOULD. we don't actually do so. yet. we should probably do some defensive copying and return a ByteBuffer...hmm...
