"...while connected to the victim database."
Victim seems to be an appropriate word for what is happening but I guess I can see an argument for "subject"
"while connected to the subject database" or something else.
My first inclination was "target" though I suppose its not that much closer to the supposed neutral position on this subjective scale than "victim".
Subject didn't sound right either (marginally). Maybe "named" - "...while connected to the named database."
Given that, aside from 3 release note instances, we never use the word "victim" in the docs leads me to want to change this if just for internal consistency.
