Cannot save simple form element string to DB (Rails, SqLite)

So I have a simple flow, where I am filling out a simple form, saving some basic information to a database, and then want to spit out that information on a page, specific to that item.

Everything is working as expected (form submission, redirect to the correct page (/books/:id), but once I am at that page, I cannot extract the string I saved and if I query the database using select * from books; I get the following results, showing that the record is successfully inserted, but without the name string, it seems.

4||2015-01-11 09:59:48.177701|2015-01-11 09:59:48.177701 

So as you can see, the form is being submitted and the book record is succesfully created, but the "name" string is not being inserted.

Help much appreciated!!

My new book form (/app/views/books/new.html)

<h1>Create a new e-book</h1>

<%= form_for @book do |f| %>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :name %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :name %>
  </p>

  <p class="button"><%= f.submit %></p>
<% end %>

The books_controller.rb

class BooksController < ApplicationController

  def index
    @books = Book.all
  end

  def new
     @book = Book.new
  end

  def show
    @book = Book.find(params[:id])
  end

  def create
    @book = Book.new(book_params)

    @book.save
    redirect_to @book
  end

  private

  def book_params
    params.require(:book).permit(:name)
  end

end

The book.rb model

class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
end

The migration file where I created the table

class CreateBooks < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :books do |t|
      t.string :name

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end
