You can or not recreate the Dataenvironnement.
If you want that your business object can handle some tables, you can manipulate it on code (IF !USED('myTable') ...) like you do in older Fox app. BTW, your class should be able to create the table if it not already exist (the dataenvironnement don't do that!).
Once you object can handle all those things, it is realy self contained.
