I am struck at writing a query. Here I want to show the column name based on some specific value
For Instance, my table is like this:
id | fruits
set @q= CONCAT('SELECT columns.column_name
from table inner
join information_schema.columns
on columns.table_schema = "dbname"
and columns.table_name = "table"
and ((',
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('columns.column_name="',column_name,'"',' and table.',column_name,' = "value','"') SEPARATOR ' OR ')
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE table_name = 'table'),
'))');
prepare query from @q;
execute query;
This works for sure..
Phew!

PS: Replace table with your table name ,dbname with your db name and value with your value
