IS there a way to run spell checking on a table/field

Is there a way to tell MySQL directly (or indirectly with another program) to check the spelling of a table/specific fields?

I used to dump my test DBs into EXCEL and do it there but that seems a bit extreme for MySQL (although I *could* still do that by exporting the data to a text file, loading it into excel, doing the check and then importing the data file back in)

TIA
 
There is no way I know of to get MySQL to do it internally.

I run MySQL on Linux and generally access the database through PHP scripts, so I'd just read each field in turn and use PHP's pspell family of functions. Pspell is, unfortunately, not available on Win32.
