Error in Android SQLite cursor

Question

I get a runtime error with this code. Whats my mistake?

String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
myDataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
Cursor cur = myDataBase.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM  personel" , null);    
cur.moveToFirst();
cur.close();
myDataBase.close();

this is my logcat:

Verify that you created the table first and it may be a spelling mistake in personel, because the correct spell is personnel. double check that your table (if already created, its) name is also the same as you using in query. — Adil Soomro

You may have included the "personel" table recently & not upgraded the database version OR you may have changed the defenition of "personel" so try to increase the DataBase-Version here:

public DatabaseHelper(Context context) 
{
    super(context, dbName, null,Increment the value here);
}
