You don't connect to the database. You don't even connect to the Instance (and the two are different).

The connect string actually connects you to a Listener, which on hearing the request for a connection to the Instance, will spawn you a Server Process, to which your User Process can then connect. It's the Server Process which does the talking to the Instance and the Database
