So, stop doing that.  :)  You get to define what data type you're 
returning; you need to return dbTypeREALstring.  For example:
        static REALstring strVal = nil;
        if (strVal) REALUnlockString( strVal );
        strVal = NewREALstring( fieldVal.GetString() );
        if (type) *type = dbTypeREALstring;
        if (length) *length = sizeof(REALstring);
        if (value) *value = (Ptr) &strVal;

Best,
