If you are talking about the console of MySQL query then you can write as below.
SELECT id FROM Info WHERE name = 'fahim' Else if you are talking about the ActiveRecord Query in rails then write it like this. Info.select("id").where(:name => "fahim") This query would return you the ActiveRelation object containing the ids from Info where name is fahim.
