That's with the following definition of NativeFormat:
When nativeformat is true, no conversion from the data takes place, so
that the format is returned in the format that is used by the underlying
database.

As TDbf author my interpretation of NativeFormat is: True means data
passed to/from Get/SetFieldData is in Delphi 5+ internal format
(TDateTime and friends), False means data is in Delphi 4- internal format
(TDateTimeRec and friends).

That is also my understanding of this field. The name is chosen rather
unfortunately. The point is that it's also used by Borland for OLE Fields,
some Byte Array fields etc.

It's also in this sense that I applied the patch. I will not revert it,
there are simply too much TDatasets out there that should be supported.

But I'm willing to fix sqldb, as I was the one that broke it.
