Is this possibly a typo? Make sure it says:

             while((result.next()) && (tableExists == false)) {

You want to do a logical and, not a bitwise and;

The difference between boolean1 & boolean2 is not bitwise versus logical; it's between unconditional & versus conditional && operation. In this case, either & or && works fine since there are no side effects of the assignment of false to tableExists.

also you want to do a comparison, not an assignment.

This I agree with.
