I'm making a dictionary database in SQLite and need some tips. My SQL is a bit rusty ;) Would you consider this good SQL? It's done with Java JDBC.

This is for creating the tables.

CREATE TABLE word (
id INTEGER,
entry STRING, 
pos STRING
);

CREATE TABLE translation (
word_id INTEGER REFERENCES word(id), 
entry STRING
);

And when filling with data i give each word a number (id) and that words translations get the same number as word_id. What would be the best way of pulling out translations for a specific word?
