Am trying to view my database tables using Android Device Monitor and It showing me Errors for reasons which i am not really sure of. And i don't have another instance of DDMS running.

Instead of showing my DDMS, Its showing me this errors

[2015-09-10 17:39:53 - ddms] Could not open Selected VM debug port (8700). Make sure you do not have another instance of DDMS or of the eclipse plugin running. If it's being used by something else, choose a new port number in the preferences.

Try killing the adb server and restarting the adb server from terminal.

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Also on your mobile device, toggle the usb debugging. Both of these combine worked for me when I had this issue.

Also you may want to consider using Stetho by Facebook, you can view your database as well as run queries with Stetho. Stetho also lets you watch network calls, view your view hierarchy and more.
