When I do that, I get the following compiler warning:

    warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

which is what originally motivated me to look for another means, which
led me to use PG_DETOAST_DATUM.

Using DatumGetPointer also seg faults ...

Is there somewhere that I am not adequately checking for an error?

Thanks,
