function Invoke-SqlCmdWithCache {
<#
    .Synopsis
        Wrapper for Invoke-SQLCmd cmdlt which has some error handling, server name resolution, and optional local caching.
    .PARAMETER query
        The sql query to execute
     .PARAMETER CacheResultsLocally
        A switch that when specified will locally cache data to speed up subsequent queries
    .PARAMETER cacheDir
        A directory that the xml files that store the cached data will be stored in. Default is C:\temp
        YOU NEED TO CLEAN THESE FILES UP YOUR SELF!!!
    .PARAMETER cacheDays
        A integer that specifies how old a file can be before the local cache is refreashed. Default is -1 (1 day old)
 
        Set this to a positive number to force a refreash of the local cache.
 
     .EXAMPLE
         
        Store a copy of the data locally to speed up any other queries until the cached data is 5 days old.
 
        The local cache will use the default $cacheDir: C:\temp\Friendly_Chainsaw\$sourceServer$sourceDatabase_$queryHash
        ie: (ServerDatabase_145868016216295781216920420294223571441041221777622495882505022372121155874110212)
         
        $sqlQuery = 'Select [DateTimeColumn], [varchar100Column], [VarcharMAXColumn] from mySchema.myTable'
        $dataAsDataTable = Query-SqlWithCache -ServerInstance $sourceServer -Database $sourceDatabase -Query $sqlQuery -cacheDays -5
          
    .INPUTS
       A sql command
