Problem with LUA scripts and DB

Hello guys.

Here is my problem. I've trying to write a script to save players coordinates (from GTA V) directly into the database. So then when we relog, we spawn exactly at the same place.

Here is what i wrote :

Code:

local function savePlayerCoords()
    SetTimeout(10000, function()
        TriggerEvent("es:getPlayers", function(users)
                for k,v in pairs(users)do
                    MySQL:executeQuery("UPDATE users SET `lastpos`='@value' WHERE identifier = '@identifier'",
                        {['@value'] = v.pos, ['@identifier'] = v.identifier})
                        end
                    end)
            
            savePlayerCoords()
        end)
    end

And here is a script that writes coordinates into a .txt file and save it in it.

client.lua

RegisterNetEvent("SaveCommand")
AddEventHandler("SaveCommand", function()
x, y, z = table.unpack(GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1), true))
local PlayerName = GetPlayerName()
TriggerServerEvent("SaveCoords", PlayerName , x , y , z)
end)

server.lua

Code:

RegisterServerEvent("SaveCoords")
AddEventHandler("SaveCoords", function( PlayerName , x , y , z )
 file = io.open( PlayerName .. "-Coords.txt", "a")
    if file then
        file:write("{" .. x .. "," .. y .. "," .. z .. "},")
        file:write("\n")
    end
    file:close()
end)

AddEventHandler("chatMessage", function(p, color, msg)
    if msg:sub(1, 1) == "/" then
        fullcmd = stringSplit(msg, " ")
        cmd = fullcmd[1]

        if cmd == "/pos" then
        	TriggerClientEvent("SaveCommand", p)
        	CancelEvent()
        end
    end
end)


function stringSplit(self, delimiter)
  local a = self:Split(delimiter)
  local t = {}

  for i = 0, #a - 1 do
     table.insert(t, a[i])
  end

  return t
end

So, i'm trying to save it in my DB that has a

USERS

table and in the

LASTPOS

column.

I'm struggling with it and don't know how to do that...
