Witch is the fastest one (in performance).


I would expect parsing and splitting your string into fields before handing it to SQL would be faster than handing it into SQL, then using a trigger to hack it into 2 fields. This would, of course, at least partially depend on what sort of language that web service is written in, if its in some hypothetical horribly inefficient interpreted language, all bets are off.

Does all your data go through a web service now? if not, what data path IS it coming from?
