    Why do you think that won't work in an MVC app? Have you tried it? Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 17:42

You can connect to a database in MVC the same way you would in an asp.net web app. There's no difference, save that in a web app you have a code behind, and in MVC you have a controller and presumably a model. Other than that, creating a connection to your database is completely up to you.

I would suggest using an ORM (Such as Linq to SQL)... in addition to SQL server so you can take full advantage of the "M" model part of MVC...
