MySQL Table Joins
One of the great characteristics of SQL (Structured Query Language) is the
fact that one
can develop, access and modify data across various tables. There are several
benefits to
this, including greater ease of manipulation, increased speed of access, and
reduced
data redundancy. In MySQL (as well as many other SQL languages), this is
accomplished via the join command.

From my understanding of databases, MySQL is relational but it depends on how you lay out the data as to how normalized it is.
The trade-off is that highly normalized tables (no redundant data) sometimes require convoluted queries. Less normalization can result in simpler queries at the cost of redundant data.
