Studio and Robot does not interact with database at all, it is always Orchestrator.
However, if there are any workflows that use Database activities (UiPath.Database.Activities package) and connect to same database as Orchestrator, make changes to the workflow (connection string as show below) and re-publish the package to Orchestrator
