Re: I think that my data is saved correctly, but when printing again, other data appears

Good evening, sorry for the delay in answering. I have a part-time job and I was at it.
I understand what you tell me about the "data" value is just a pointer into the tupdesc associated with the SPI result, and that disappears the moment I do SPI_finish ().
What I do not understand well is how to use CurrentMemoryContext and MemoryContextStrdup, since there are not many examples of using them on the Internet (most are only definitions) and it is the first time I have heard of this, although I already understand this part now of contexts, because I was reading on the subject.
Could you please give me an example of use?
Best Regards,
Yessica Brinkmann

Yeah, because the "data" value is just a pointer into the tupdesc
associated with the SPI result, and that disappears the moment you
do SPI_finish(). You'd need to do something to copy the strings
into a longer-lived context. A plain pstrdup() won't suffice
because you're in a short-lived SPI context already inside that
loop; but you could save CurrentMemoryContext before starting up
SPI and then use MemoryContextStrdup.
