If SQL Server then just CONNECT to right DB, use the right connection string.
Imaging you have 3 DBs with the same tables in there:
Selim0001
Selim0002
Selim0003

So when you connect to SQL Server like this:

lcString = [Driver=SQL Server;Server=YourServer;DataBase=Selim0001;UID=sa;PWD=Blah]
lnHandler = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcString)

Your CAs will use tables from Selim0001 database, if you reconnect:

SQLDISCONNECT(lnHandler)
lcString = [Driver=SQL Server;Server=YourServer;DataBase=Selim0002;UID=sa;PWD=Blah]
lnHandler = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcString)

Your CAs will use tables from Selim0002 database, etc.

If you want to make them more general, you could add a property to the CA class named DBName and store there the Full "path" to
your DataBase. That way you will be free to use tables from more than one Database. Then only thing you must care is the SelectCMD:

TEXT TO this.SelectCmd NOSHOW TEXTMERGE 
        SELECT .....
        FROM <<this.DBNAME>>TableName TableName
ENDTEXT

and you could use this:

lcString = [Driver=SQL Server;Server=YourServer;UID=salPWD=Blah] && See No database name here
lnHandler = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcString)
oCA = CREATEOBJECT([YourCA],[YourVCX])
oCA.DataSource = lnHandler
oCA.DBName = [Selim0001.dbo.]
oCA.BuildCmd()
oCA.CursorFill()

Of course you should add error handlers, custom methods etc.
