Sitecore 10.1 Upgrade: Could not find stored procedure xdb_collection.GetContactsByIdentifiersTvp_V_10_1_0
In the process of upgrading a 9.3 instance to 10.1, we chose to create copies of the 9.3 databases and upgrade those, leaving the 9.3 DBs intact.

xConnect: Adding custom facets in Sitecore 9
The default collection model in xDB comes with many of the fields you would normally need for storing information about a visitor, but there are almost always those special cases where you need to store something very specific to your business that doesn’t come out of the box.
