Code not giving desired output

                    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                    frame.setContentPane(new Offender_Form());
                    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                    frame.setTitle("Traffic Ticket System Offender Menu");
                    frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
                    frame.pack();
                    frame.setVisible(true);
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Cannot connect you to the database. Make sure your entering the correct First Name and Badge Number. "
                    + "Please try again.");
        }
        
    }

My Table columns are set up like:

BADGE_NUMBER, DIVISION, TITLE, FIRST_NAME............

I have the following code above. I am trying to use data from my table to verify login into the database . Buts when I print the stack trace trace its telling me the table does not exist.

First check if the connection is being made correctly. Check if con is null. If yes it means connection is not getting established in the first place, check if you have set driver path correctly

what you also could do .... tell us:
1. what is the desired output
2. what is your actual output
3. is the code running or crashing?
4. do you get any error messages?

Post the full error messages here(including line number), because then we can help tell you exactly what might be going wrong and where...

catch (Exception e)
{
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(...Cannot connect you to the database.
}

Actually there are many other Exceptions that could be thrown from your try block eg null pointer... who knows? But this code will make you think it's always a database connection problem
When developing your code you should ALWAYS do a full e.printStackTrace(); in every catch block until you are certain exactly what's happening.
