Hi Peter,

Regarding:
  "Selectivity is known -- since it's a primary key, which is unique -- it will 
be 1. Cardinality can vary."


I wonder if you're referring to the definition of *cardinality* as used in 
mathematics
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality
        In mathematics, the cardinality of a set is a measure of the "number of 
elements of the set".


as opposed to the definition common in SQL:
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality_%28SQL_statements%29
     "In SQL (Structured Query Language), the term cardinality refers to the 
uniqueness of data values contained in a particular column (attribute) of a 
database table. "

Regards,
   Donald
