powershell & mysql

I am trying to manipulate some mysql databases with powershell. I found a really informative post of a one size fits all database connector. So the connection part is working. My current crisis is I can not access the values that are being returned.

I get a System.Data.Common.DataRecordInternal object for each result in the query. 

The items table consists of 3 columns; itemID, itemName, itemInUse and there are 10 records in the table

function dbExecute([string]$command){
 dbPrepareResult
 if (!$global:MLMcommand) {
  dbOpen
 }
 $global:MLMcommand.CommandType = [System.Data.CommandType]::Text
 $global:MLMcommand.CommandText = $command
 $global:MLMresult = $global:MLMcommand.ExecuteReader()
 return $global:MLMresult
}

$query = "SELECT * FROM items"
$results = dbExecute $query
foreach($result in $results){
 write-host $result
}

This results in 10 System.Data.Common.DataRecordInternal lines. I tried appending .columnNames to no avail. I have to be pretty close.

Sorry for the horrible formatting. Could not find the code/code equivalent so I used <pre>

Thanks!
