+ The catalog <code class="structname">pg_shdepend</code> records the
+ dependency relationships between database objects and shared objects,
+ such as roles. This information allows
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> to ensure that those objects are
+ unreferenced before attempting to delete them.
+ </p><p>
+ See also <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-depend.html" title="53.18. pg_depend"><code class="structname">pg_depend</code></a>,
+ which performs a similar function for dependencies involving objects
+ within a single database.
+ </p><p>
+ Unlike most system catalogs, <code class="structname">pg_shdepend</code>
+ is shared across all databases of a cluster: there is only one
+ copy of <code class="structname">pg_shdepend</code> per cluster, not
+ one per database.
