Paul, et al -- ...and then Paul Arsenault said... % % MySQL is a relational database.
I've followed up and have more information -- sort of. My pal couldn't provide hard data but pointed not only to extra stuff like transactions (I don't think anyone is saying that transactions are part of what makes up relational) but stored procedures, foreign keys, and better joins. Perhaps the difference in "relational" and "whopping big powerful relational". Good news for me, though, because mysql is available out of the box at my server and I can still learn not just DB but RDB interfacing. Thanks a lot for the pointer!
