Yes, you can use anything you want!

MVC doesn't limit you to the type of data access strategy you can use, MVC and data access are two completely separate things.

You could create another project that performs all your data access (DAL), reference that from your MVC web project and away you go. Within your DAL, you could just define SqlConnection objects or whatever you like, the choice is yours!
