How about the below then? I've been asked by a couple of MSSQL experts
why they couldn't see all databases contents in the system catalogs.
There was also a docnote about this, so I think it's worth mentioning
they're local.

'Most of the system catalogs are copied during database creation from
the template database, as such are database specific. Exceptions are
mentioned in the description of the individual catalog.'
