3    The catalog <code class="structname">pg_shdepend</code> records the
4    dependency relationships between database objects and shared objects,
5    such as roles.  This information allows
6    <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> to ensure that those objects are
7    unreferenced before attempting to delete them.

16    one per database.
