How should I list this on my resume?

Hi, I am working at a small regional M&A office and I am creating a database for all potential firms who have reached out to our office. I am using tons of VBA coding (granted a lot of code is online, I just have to make some tweaks) to make the database more effective and easier for the MDs to use. A lot of the coding is so MDs can just type in a particular strategy or keyword, and then excel creates a separate worksheet and list all the firms associated with the keyword like "management takeover" or "manufacturing industry".

How should I list this on my resume?

I think I will say: Using VBA to design and maintain a database to help senior management identify prospective strategic and financial purchasers more efficiently

OR

Designing and maintaining a database with VBA to help senior management identify prospective strategic and financial purchasers more efficiently

I know this is such a petty/small line item, but which one sounds better? Or any other suggestions?
