Can you split a Dynamic UITableView into Sections?

I'm trying to put a signifier between two different types of data being fed into my dynamic UITableView. Am I allowed to split the data into two sections or would I have to just feed in a non-userInteractionEnabled cell to mark the split? I cannot programmatically set the numberOfSections property. Does anyone know how to get around this?

What you are trying to do is creating a grouped table view , make sure in your interface builder you chose grouped tableview option for your table view

then call grouped table view methods such as

// for sections I guess you want 2 sections 
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    return 2;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
 numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
     if(section==0)
       return [yourdatasource count]; // make sure that each section is returned here
     if(section==1)
       return [anotherdatasource count];
}

// set header height of gropued tableview
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {

    return 60.0; // choose your height for each section
}
//set header section labels
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
}

my code is not tested,
