rails app commits SQL transaction but no change in actual table - mysql

Question

my rails app generates the following server queries
Processing by ResponsesController#create as HTML
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"WJBM8CJQaLxkRfC3/cGimaEytM3EvqCWhOmfX1WBRQA=", "response"=>{"q_id"=>"4", "taker_id"=>"10", "value"=>"4", "text"=>"fsfsf"}, "commit"=>"Create Response", "locale"=>"en"}
Question Load (0.1ms) SELECT "questions".* FROM "questions" WHERE "questions"."id" = ? LIMIT 1 [["id", "4"]]
(0.1ms)
begin transaction
SQL (0.4ms) INSERT INTO "responses" ("created_at", "q_id", "taker_id", "text", "updated_at", "value") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) [["created_at", Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:54:10 UTC +00:00], ["q_id", 4], ["taker_id", 10], ["text", "fsfsf"], ["updated_at", Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:54:10 UTC +00:00], ["value", 4]]
(2.3ms) commit transaction
default_url_options is passed options: {}
However, there is no actual change I can see in my local mysql db (on macos)
mysql> use medisupply
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Database changed
mysql> select * from responses
-> ;
Empty set (0,00 sec)
Any ideas what could be the reason for that? Its driving me insane.
my database.yml config:
development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
host: localhost
database: medisupply
pool: 5
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
thanks heaps
