SuiteQL offers an Oracle syntax to query data from NetSuite. The default service supported in SuiteTalk is instead designed using a number of SOAP requests to retrieve data in a format that is more closely associated with the saved searching in NetSuite. This means that SuiteQL can be used to handle much more complicated queries that SuiteTalk. For instance, joins, aggregations, group by, order by, and formulas can all be handled server side using SuiteQL. In contrast, SuiteTalk only supports some joins and predicates. In general, SuiteQL is a more powerful option for executing queries faster against NetSuite due to its more rich support for handling SQL.
