Need free English dictionary or Corpus, ultimately for a MySQL database

Question

I'm trying to find a free downloadable dictionary (or Corpus might be the better word) which I can import into MySQL. I need to words to have the type (noun, verb, adjective) associated with them. Any tips on where I can find one? I found one several years ago that worked nicely, but I no longer have it around.

Thanks! Chris

Project Gutenberg has public domain books you can download.

This includes 'The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary', but nothing modern, and not in a format immediately suitable for import into a MySQL database.

Not without some work, anyway. What was the one you found "years ago" ?

http://www.desiquintans.com/nounlist looks pretty good... I searched 'nouns.txt' and it came right up.
