Assuming you can get the results of your SQL query into string form,
it should be just a matter of inserting those strings into your
widget.

I don't know if this will help you, but here is a snip from one of my
classes where I am processing a list of text lines and displaying
those lines in a QTextEdit widget.  The fields in each line are padded
to make everything come out in nice columns.

The snag that hung me up when I first started using PyQt was not
realizing that the "QStrings" that come out of a Qt widget (a C++
thingy) have to be converted to Python strings ( with the str function
).  It's OK going the other way, however.  You can insert a Python
string ( p below ) into a PyQt widget.

    def slotParse(self):
        self.outputTextLabel.setText(self.simComboBox.currentText())
        pystring = str(self.textEdit1.text())  # Convert QString to
pystring
        modlist = pystring.splitlines()
        plist = parseMods(modlist)
        for p in plist:
            self.textEdit2.insert(p + '\n')
