Can someone please help me to understand how these are interconnected? (DB Instances vs Databases vs DB Catalogs)

cmdb_ci_db_mssql_catalog going to replace by/replaced by cmdb_ci_db_mssql_database, any reference links to understand it better?

Based on the answer for https://www.servicenow.com/community/itom-forum/cmdb-ci-db-mssql-catalog-vs-cmdb-ci-db-mssql-databas..., it looks like the "catalog" table is being replaced by the "instance" table. The "database" table contains the specific database running on the "instance". The "instance" would be the named SQL Server instance / process running on the SQL Server host. Additional resources:
