Select result to Array of strings?

Is it possible to do Select query and get result as list of Strings (i.e. to not map to object)? Like:

String query = "select columnName from table";            
List<String> result = DatabaseManager.Database.Query<???>(query);

Selecting scalars is not supported, but would be a great feature.

My bad, I forgot what I was dealing with, I was trying to retrieve only the IDs with a custom object

    public class ColumnData
    {
        public String Id;
    }

but the object needs to be formatted in the SQLite.net standard, which is :

    public class ColumnData
    {
        [PrimaryKey]
        public String Id { get; set; }
    }

and now it works fine 😃
