note: this depend on your dbms if this code will work fine

to use dynamic column name in sql you can:

use variable:
SET @column_name = 'first_name';
SELECT @column_name FROM users;

use subquery:
SELECT column_name FROM columns WHERE column_id = 1;
SET @column_name = (SELECT column_name FROM columns WHERE column_id = 1);
SELECT @column_name FROM users;

use case statement:
SET @column_name = (CASE WHEN condition THEN 'column1' ELSE 'column2' END);
SELECT @column_name FROM users;

use prepared statements:
SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT ', ?, ' FROM users');
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt USING @column_name;
