Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to typecast data type Point into Datum?

Thanks
Nick

Assuming you are referring to  c-code,

Point somepoint;
Datum result;

result = PointPGetDatum(&somepoint)

You can also checkout src/backend/utils/adt/geo_ops.c which has code for conversion between
datum and point and vice-versa.
