All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Field>
```
public class BinaryCodedField
extends BinaryField
```
Allows various non-database supported data types to be encoded within a BinaryField which may be stored within the database.
Although the BinaryField stores a byte array, this type is supported by this class so that the use of a BinaryField within a table can always relate to this class and still support a byte array.
