Saved as MPSQL? Do you mean MySQL or are you actually referring to MPSQL (a gui interface for PostgreSQL)?
Ok, I'm going to assume you meant MySQL (as you meantioned fields)? How are they stored in the database? Has it been xml enabled? If so... then it makes sense.
So what you will need to do is fetch the result set (which will be in an XML document format) and then parse it. You can use the SimpleXML extension to easily parse it.
