title: Asp.net mvc 3 model usage with database
body: <p>I am working on a project that has a large database with all the data already in it. So now, I don't see the mvc project model being used very much, since the views are being strongly typed to a database model.</p>
  
  <p>I am very new to this stuff, so is database simply taking place of the model "space" ? </p>
