 * WordPress ususally uses ‘wp_’ prefix, so make sure you are using the proper one.
   Go to phpMyAdmin or other any DB tool in your cPanel/hosting dashboard and see
   if the database and tables exist there or not.
 * If it is there, check the prefix and update the same, if necessary, in your wp-
   config.php file under $table_prefix = ‘wp_6_’.
 * And if you don’t find any table in your database, then there there is something
   wrong with your database import and you may either restore it from backup file
   or freshly install it. In case you dont have any backup file, contact your hosting
   provider for one.

 * The prefix `wp_6_` sounds like part of a multisite installation. Normally, I 
   would recommend importing a backup for messages like this. If it is a multisite,
   you may need to coordinate this process with other parties involved or manually
   retrieve the missing databases from a backup and import them. This could be a
   bit tricky.
