XCode error EXC_BAD_ACCESS when using sqlite3 + table + tab bar - xcode

Question

I have a class ClsDatabase that is called to save / retrieve data.
There are also 2 views. The 2nd view have table that will display information based on what ClsDataBase retrieved. A tab-bar controls the 2 views.
It can load initially with the 1st view shown. However, when I select the 2nd view, it stops at main.m's
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([TestTabBarAppDelegate class]));
with error message: EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
I tried create another project but without ClsDatabase and just print some dummmy values in table, and it works. Not sure if its because of the class ClsDatabase

You are doing lot's of things in code that should be done with IB and storyboarding.
Your logic in cellForRowAtIndexPath will fail on the first row, when indexPath.row is 0 and your arrDebtor is empty and your cell has not been created yet. That would explain the EXC_BAD_ACCESS error.
