	weeeell... if you have said dictionary in a database, you could make yourself a random number in the range of the no. of records in the db and select record no 'x'... there's also some stuff about random sampling in this mskb article... and they look like they might be simpler to code... not sure on speed though... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsqlpro04/html/sp04c1.asp

	Anyone know how to import a dictionary into SQL server, or just access one?

	er.... depends what format you have a dictionary in... the 'simplest' way would be to sit at a keyboard with a dictionary in front of you for a while...

	It depends on the format of the word dictionary, but if it is pure text, then yes, you can import easily.

	MS Word is not pure text AFAIK, just the stuff you add yourself is though.

	Wouldn't they of probably adopted a trie data structure for storing dictionaries? So no one knows of an easy way to just grab random words at all?
