How to avoid splitting tables between sections

I have the following problem: when I compile a document with text enclosed within a \begin{table}...\end{table} statement it compiles fine but sometimes the Table moves into the previous section.

Can I prevent tabular from moving floating environment within the document?

This is a frequently asked question and I closed it as duplicate to connect it to other previously asked and answered questions.

You can use the float package:

\usepackage{float}
...
\begin{table}[H]
...
\end{table}

Alternatively there's also the placeins package that provides \FloatBarrier
