Add Rows to TableView

One can initially add multiple rows to a table via the setData method. However, in order to append rows to the table it appears you must use the appendRow method. (Note: using the add method will not work because it does not accept arrays.)

Is there any way to append multiple rows (or multiple table sections) to a TableView that already has data in it by adding them all at once instead of doing it iteratively using appendRow?

i do not believe there is an alternate way to do it.
