           ],
       ],
   ]);
   $formDefinition->addFinisher($saveToDatabaseFinisher);


This performs 2 database operations.
One insert and one update.
You can access the inserted uids through '{SaveToDatabase.insertedUids.<theArrayKeyNumberWithinOptions>}'
If you perform an insert operation, the value of the inserted database row will be stored within the FinisherVariableProvider.
<theArrayKeyNumberWithinOptions> references to the numeric options.* key.

:aspect:`Possible values`
      insert/ update

:aspect:`Description`
      ``insert`` will create a new database row with the values from the submitted form and/or some predefined values. @see options.elements and options.databaseFieldMappings

      ``update`` will update a given database row with the values from the submitted form and/or some predefined values. 'options.whereClause' is then required.

whereClause
+++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      array

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      Yes, if mode = update

:aspect:`Default value`
      empty array

:aspect:`Description`
      This where clause will be used for a database update action


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-elements:

elements
++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      array

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      Yes

:aspect:`Default value`
      empty array

:aspect:`Description`
      Use ``options.elements`` to map form element values to existing database columns.
      Each key within ``options.elements`` has to match with a form element identifier.
      The value for each key within ``options.elements`` is an array with additional informations.

elements.<formElementIdentifier>.mapOnDatabaseColumn
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      string

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      Yes

:aspect:`Default value`
      undefined

:aspect:`Description`
      The value from the submitted form element with the identifier ``<formElementIdentifier>`` will be written into this database column.


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-elements-<formelementidentifier>-skipifvalueisempty:

elements.<formElementIdentifier>.skipIfValueIsEmpty
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      bool

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      No

:aspect:`Default value`
      false

:aspect:`Description`
      Set this to true if the database column should not be written if the value from the submitted form element with the identifier
      ``<formElementIdentifier>`` is empty (think about password fields etc.). Empty means strings without content, whitespace is valid content.


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-elements-<formelementidentifier>-savefileidentifierinsteadofuid:

elements.<formElementIdentifier>.saveFileIdentifierInsteadOfUid
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      bool

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      No

:aspect:`Default value`
      false

:aspect:`Description`
      Set this to true if the database column should not be written if the value from the submitted form element with the identifier
      ``<formElementIdentifier>`` is empty (think about password fields etc.).

      This setting only rules for form elements which creates a FAL object like ``FileUpload`` or ``ImageUpload``.
      By default, the uid of the FAL object will be written into the database column. Set this to true if you want to store the
      FAL identifier (1:/user_uploads/some_uploaded_pic.jpg) instead.


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-elements-<formelementidentifier>-dateformat:

elements.<formElementIdentifier>.dateFormat
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      string

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      No

:aspect:`Default value`
      'U'

:aspect:`Description`
      If the internal datatype is :php:`\DateTime` which is true for the form element types
      :yaml:`DatePicker` and :yaml:`Date`, the object needs to be converted into a string value.
      This option allows you to define the format of the date in case of such a conversion.
      You can use every format accepted by the PHP :php:`date()` function (https://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php#refsect1-function.date-parameters).
      The default value is "U" which leads to a Unix timestamp.


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-databasecolumnmappings:

databaseColumnMappings
++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      array

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      No

:aspect:`Default value`
      empty array

:aspect:`Description`
      Use this to map database columns to static values.
      Each key within ``options.databaseColumnMappings`` has to match with an existing database column.
      The value for each key within ``options.databaseColumnMappings`` is an array with additional informations.

      This mapping is done *before* the ``options.element`` mapping.
      This means if you map a database column to a value through ``options.databaseColumnMappings`` and map a submitted
      form element value to the same database column through ``options.element``, the submitted form element value
      will override the value you set within ``options.databaseColumnMappings``.


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-databasecolumnmappings.<databasecolumnname>.value:

databaseColumnMappings.<databaseColumnName>.value
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      string

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      Yes

:aspect:`Default value`
      undefined

:aspect:`Description`
      The value which will be written to the database column.
      You can also use the :ref:`FormRuntime accessor feature<concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-accessingoptions-formruntimeaccessor>` to access every getable property from the ``FormRuntime``
      In short: use something like ``{<formElementIdentifier>}`` to get the value from the submitted form element with the identifier ``<formElementIdentifier>``.

      If you use the FormRuntime accessor feature within ``options.databaseColumnMappings``, the functionality is nearly identical
      to the ``options.elements`` configuration variant.


.. _apireference-finisheroptions-savetodatabasefinisher-options-databasecolumnmappings.<databasecolumnname>.skipifvalueisempty:

databaseColumnMappings.<databaseColumnName>.skipIfValueIsEmpty
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:aspect:`Data type`
      bool

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      No

:aspect:`Default value`
      false

:aspect:`Description`
      Set this to true if the database column should not be written if the value from ``options.databaseColumnMappings.<databaseColumnName>.value`` is empty.
