Join vs References

Options
If I have two tables with a common key I can do a join. Are references designed to support a graph database approach. Is there a preferred approach here or a combined approach one could take?

    Xano is based on a relational database (PostgreSQL) rather than a graph database system. The technical names for the references are "foreign keys." If you want to implement a graph database model (e.g. edges and nodes) you absolutely can, just a little more indirectly.
