Speed up insert mdb

Is there a way to speed up inserts to a mdb?

 using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(_localDir + \"\\\\\" + _filename))
  while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) !=

Is it possible for you to use a query that inserts directly from csv? For example:

SELECT ID,Field1 INTO NewTable 
FROM [Text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited;IMEX=2;DATABASE=C:\Docs\].Some.CSV

You can use something similar with non-standard delimiters, but you will need a Schema.ini file in the same directory as the file to be imported. It need only contain:

[tempImportfile.csv]
TextDelimiter='

You will have to alter the connect string slightly, this seems to work:

Text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited;DATABASE=C:\Docs\
