I'm trying to understand the distinction between Xdb and xConnect. I've heard they are both related to Sitecore's data management capabilities, but I'm not sure how they differ in terms of their functionalities and use cases.

    The design ensures that no other system can directly access the xDB Collection database.

    Similarly, direct access to the xDB index is restricted to only those facilitated by xConnect.

    xConnect serves as the intermediary service layer positioned between the xDB Collection database and the xDB index.

    This layer facilitates interactions between these components and any trusted client or device seeking to access contact and interaction data.
