Unable to update database

Rails 3.0.8

I am able to see the grid and it is populated with my data, but when I try to add new data, update or delete those changes are not carried over to database. Here are snippets of my files:

routes:

resources :qtl_table do
collection do
get ‘search’
get ‘view’
get ‘data’
get ‘dbaction’
end
end

controller:

class QtlTableController < ApplicationController

require “builder”

def index
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render :json => @qtls }
end
end
def view
end
def data
@qtls = QtlTable.all()
@xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html #data.html.erb
format.xml #data.xml.builder
end
end

def dbaction
@xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new
#called for all db actions
qtl_name = params[“c0”]
parent_1 = params[“c1”]
parent_2 = params[“c2”]

    @mode = params["!nativeeditor_status"]
logger.debug "\nMODE: #{@mode}\n"
    
    @id = params["gr_id"]
logger.debug "\nGRID ID: #{@id}\n"
    case @mode
        when "inserted"
            qtl = QtlTable.new
            qtl.QTLName = qtl_name
            qtl.Parent_1 = parent_1
	qtl.Parent_2 = parent_2
	qtl.First_entered = :timestamp
	qtl.Last_update = :timestamp
            qtl.save!
            
            @tid = qtl.QTLID
    when "deleted"
            qtl=QtlTable.find(@id)
            qtl.destroy
            
            @tid = @id
        when "updated"
            qtl=QtlTable.find(@id)
            qtl.QTLName = qtl_name
            qtl.Parent_1 = parent_1
	qtl.Parent_2 = parent_2
            qtl.save!
            
            @tid = @id
    end 
respond_to do |format|
	format.html
	format.xml
end

end

app/views/qtl_table/view.html.erb

View all QTLs

var grid = new dhtmlXGridObject("grid_here"); grid.setImagePath("images"); grid.setHeader("QTL name, Parent 1, Parent 2"); grid.setInitWidths("100,100,*"); grid.init(); grid.load("/qtl_table/data.xml");
    <%- logger.debug "\n CREATE NEW DP\n"%>
    dp = new dataProcessor("/qtl_table/dbaction.xml/");
    dp.init(grid);
    </script>
    <input type="button" value="Add" onclick="grid.addRow(grid.uid(),'new QTL')">
    <input type="button" value="Delete" onclick="grid.deleteSelectedRows()">

app/views/qtl_table/dbaction.xml.builder
xml.instruct! :angry:ml, :version=>“1.0”

xml.tag!(“data”) do
xml.tag!(“action”,{ “type” => @mode, “sid” => @id, “tid” => @tid })
end

Thanks

Turns out for my config/database.yml I was using a user to connect to my database who did not have INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE privileges.
