Straight connections to SharePoint databases are not supported by Microsoft and should be avoid at all costs. On SharePoint 2010/2013 you can either use the Server-side Object Model API from a process running on one of your SharePoint servers or the Client Object Model API from your SQL Server towards the respective site collection - Deciding Which SharePoint 2010 API to Use. If your farm is MOSS 2007 for remote connections you can only use web service calls to SharePoint Lists web service.

It's important to know that accessing data from SharePoint directly through SQL Server is not supported - even if you don't actually change anything. The only supported ways are through the user interface, the API's or via PowerShell. Just don't do it.

That said, if you really want to have a look...

First you have to determine the content database your content resides in. You can do this by issuing the following command:

Get-SPContentdatabase -Site http://[site collection url] | select name

When you have the database you can issue your queries.

An example on how to do that can be found here: http://www.sharepointkings.com/2008/07/run-sql-queries-and-fetch-list-data_10.html
