Hi,
I feel that it would be better to use the first method
you just described.
1. The choice of whether to check or not should
be with the user. But this depends entirely on *your*
application. There might be instants when the word
s/he has typed is not in the database (like names).
2. With the second method that you described,
your application might run a little slow because
it has to check spellings and respond to user.
The user would be more willing to wait a second or two
after s/he has typed out than when s/he is typing.
