Well if you have a model for your component, which gets data from the database, you should create an Instance of that model in your module like this:

jimport( 'joomla.application.component.model' );
JModelLegacy::addIncludePath( JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_mycompo/models', 'YourModel' );
$model = JModelLegacy::getInstance( 'Items', 'YourModel' );

Then you use a model method to get the data you want:

$data = $model->getData();

If you create the component using http://www.component-creator.com you will get many more features such as full ACL support, SQL import, front end editing and many more types of fields including foreign key fields. And as a bonus you can also build a module that can display your data.
