Well I have just done a google.co.uk search for 

english dictionary downloadable

and got the following results:

Web Results
1 - 10 of about 1,290,000 for english dictionary downloadable.

They may not be in the correct format to import directly.

But I'm sure it is possible to write a script to parse the 
downloaded dictionary, and build the query to insert the 
contents into a database yourself, or to convert the 
dictionary into another suitable format that would be 
compatible for loading directly into a database table.
