CakePHP can't save into Postgres database, but with successful return - postgresql

Question

Does anyone encounter this issue before?
In CakePHP, I'm having this.
$this->loadModel('BankBalance');
$data = array("BankBalance"=> array(bla bla bla...);
$this->BankBalance->save($data);
$log = $this->BankBalance->getDataSource()->getLog(false, false); debug($log);
and the debug return me this
array(
'log' => array(
(int) 0 => array(
'query' => 'BEGIN',
'params' => array(),
'affected' => null,
'numRows' => null,
'took' => null
),
(int) 1 => array(
'query' => 'INSERT INTO bla bla bla...)',
'params' => array(),
'affected' => (int) 1,
'numRows' => (int) 1,
'took' => (float) 7
),
(int) 2 => array(
'query' => 'COMMIT',
'params' => array(),
'affected' => (int) 1,
'numRows' => (int) 1,
'took' => (float) 7
)
),
'count' => (int) 3,
'time' => (float) 14)
In actual fact, the row was not inserted despite successful message returned. But if I copied the generated SQL and run it, it does really INSERT into the table.
I've tried to use saveMany as well, it didn't do the INSERTion but still, return me successful message.
There is no error log in CakePHP. updateAll is working fine for the UPDATE. And now I'm looking for the sql INSERT
I can't even do the ->save into a simple table with single field(character varying(50)), no triggers, nothing. Return me success message but no physical data insert into the table.

If you want to insert data, you need to create a new one by put
$this->BankBalance->create();
anywhere before(best at the beginning)
$this->BankBalance->save($data);
and put
if($this->BankBalance->save($data)){
$log = $this->BankBalance->getDataSource()->getLog(false, false);
debug($log);
}
instead of
$this->BankBalance->save($data);
$log = $this->BankBalance->getDataSource()->getLog(false, false); debug($log);
to know if save successfully

Answer 2

save($entity) expects entity, you provide an array:
$this->loadModel('BankBalance');
$data = array("BankBalance"=> array(bla bla bla...);
$entity = $this->BankBalance->newEntity($data);
$result = $this->BankBalance->save($entity);
