Default SQL vs. VBA

To be honest, the only thought that crosses my mind is:

Try it and find out.

I was wondering if a trigger created via sql in Oracle would perform faster
than the equivalent vba function in excel that is uploading to Oracle?

Either way I am running a program to upload data into Oracle using VBA. I
was thinking of making some of the Excel VBA tasks the database's tasks
through a trigger, but in order to do that I have to do the "work aorund"
for
Oracle so I can work on the same table. I experimented with a small
dataset
and when using triggers, the program time seemed to triple if not more.
Any
thoughts? Thank you.
