Insert data to tableview from array

I hope this isn't too basic to ask here but I'm stuck (again).

I have an array (populated from a sqlite db) and want to insert those data in an UITableView.

So basically I want my textfields and buttons, and of course my tableview to all reside in the same window. Most of the examples I find out there is about hardcoding the tableview and populating in the viewDidLoad, which I don't want to and therefore can't use those examples (or rather, they don't work)

This is what I got:

if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(dbHandle, query, -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK ){
        
        NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        //step through the results
        while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
            [array addObject:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 0)]];
            //NSLog(@"Data: %@",[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 0)]);
        }
        
        dataArray  = [array sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)];
        [arr开发者_JAVA技巧ay release];
        sqlite3_finalize(statement);  //releases the resources associted with the statment
        sqlite3_close(dbHandle);    //close db
//***********here I want something like: "tableview.data = dataArray.data"*******

Do anyone have any example to point me to or write down here?

actually I have revised the problem... the population works after modification. But the problem that I seemed to have from the beginning (wich I thought was the root of the problem) is that the table fills up the whole window.

I read somewhere that I could make a subview... but wouldnt that make another window? can I make a subview within my current window (tableview on half that window)?
