The Query Layers functionality supports access to any of the databases supported by ArcGIS (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Informix) and any of the spatial types available for those database platforms.

This blog posting should provide a good intro, and it leads into the relevant online help.
