    You can, but you shouldn’t.

    Even in a view file, $this still refers to the current controller so $this->db->get('my_table') will work exactly the same as it would in the controller.

    However, as surely you must have heard, it’s recommended to pass variables to the view from the controller instead of preforming non view-related tasks in the view file itself, and doing database manipulation (getting data, updating, deleting, etc.) in the model layer. This is one of the fundaments of MVC architecture.
