    Source position: db.pas line 1896

    public 
procedure SetFieldData(Field: TField; Buffer: Pointer);  virtual
                      ;  overload; overload;

    Description

    SetFieldData should copy the data from field Field, stored in the memory pointed to by Buffer to the dataset memory buffer for the current record. This function is not intended for use by end-user applications, and should be used only in descendent classes, where it can be overridden. The NativeFormat determines whether the data is in native format (e.g. whether the date/time values are in TDateTime format).
