1. Add 2 UITableViews to your view in IB and connect them to 2 different outlets in file owner (or simply assign different tag properties).
2. Set delegate and data source for them (may be same view controller for both).

3. In delegate/data source methods you do the following:

   -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{    
       if (tableView == myFirstTable)
           // return value for 1st table
       if (tableView == mySecondTable)
           // return value for 2nd table
        return 0;
   }
   

or if you use tag approach:

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{   
    switch(tableView.tag){
         case firstTag:
            // return value for 1st table
         case secondTag: 
            // return value for 2nd table
    }
    return 0;
}
