+  <para>
+   <command>DROP OWNED</command> is often used to prepare for the
+   removal of one or more roles. Because <command>DROP OWNED</command>
+   only affects the objects in the current database, it is usually
+   necessary to execute this command in each database that contains
+   objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   Using the <literal>CASCADE</literal> option might make the command
+   recurse to objects owned by other users.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   The <link linkend="sql-reassign-owned"><command>REASSIGN OWNED</command></link> command is an alternative that
+   reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or
+   more roles.  However, <command>REASSIGN OWNED</command> does not deal with
+   privileges for other objects.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.
+  </para>
