Question

I have a table like below

    CREATE TABLE `fruits` (
      `fruit_id` int(11) default NULL,
      `fruit_name` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL
    );

The table contains fields as below

    INSERT INTO fruits(fruit_id, fruit_name) 
               VALUES (101, 'Mango'),
                      (102, 'Apple'),
                      (103, 'Orange'),
                      (104, 'Pineapple'),
                      (105, 'Lemon'),
                      (106, 'Custard');

I want a select query which brings the column in to single row as below for particular id
like

    SELECT fruit_id, fruit_name
       FROM fruits
      WHERE fruit_id = 101

The above query bring output in two columns

    101    Mango

I want the columns in single row as below

    101
    Mango
