title: Convert SQL Binary to byte array
body: <p>Given some data stored in a SQL binary field:</p>
  
  <pre><code>0x83C8BB02E96F2383870CC1619B6EC...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to convert it into a byte array, but it doesn't seem like I can just cast this directly into a byte like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>byte[] someBytes = (byte) 0x83C8BB02E96F2383870CC1619B6EC...;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?</p>
