English Dictionary - SQL

[robputt796]

Hi

I know this is a bit of a longshot. But does anyone know of any sites were I can get freely availible (preferably, but not neccesary, I may be willing to pay) SQL dumps of databases such as Enlgish words, etc...

Many Thanks

Rob

Haven't tested this but http://code.google.com/p/wdict/ you could then download the english->viet dictionary and remove the viet part from the db

Wow, that is some pretty hefty SQL. . Perfect for my hangman game though.

That's a really good idea, getting MySQL databases from opensource projects like that... Is there a way to search for databases? How did you come across that?

I came across a list of English words lately but it's in plain text format. I guess you could import it into an SQL database pretty easily.
