MySQL isn't a format.

You can download some comprehensive word lists from http://www.isc.ro/en/commands/lists.html ... they're the official lists used in Scrabble tournaments. Even the best one (ZINGA) only has 584,983 words in it though, which is waaaaaaaaay short of all the words in English. I doubt you'll find a better one nonetheless.

Yeah. Just get it in a tab (or other character) delimited file, and import it to a database table making use of fgetcsv().

This google search looks promising: http://www.google.com/search?q=english+word+list
