Hey guys, I'm quite new to exposed and pretty sure I'm missing something:

```
override fun getColorByCompany(company: String): List&lt;String&gt; {
        val color = transaction { Companies
                .slice(Companies.color)
                .select { Companies.name eq company }
                .map { it.toString() }
        }
       return color
    }
```

How can I get a single string as result and not a list of strings?
Or should I convert it afterwards for myself?
Thanks in advance!

I generally use `.firstOrNull()` here. That way you’ll get a string if it exists or null if no results were returned.
