That's correct. My lack of attention! :-)
I was also supposed to add that that would be the primary key from
the end-user standpoint. That would be the Candidate Key (or
Alternate Key, there are different names), i.e., a column (or set of
columns) that has the same characteristics as a primary key but
doesn't propagate to other tables (it doesn't become a foreign key).
