Some of find options are rdbms specific, can you please provide a code snippet of what you are executing, expected results what you get?

I have an entity with three fields :

• name
• value
• createdAt

I execute this kind of code :

settingRepository.find({ select: ["name"] });

I expected a list of object composed with only field "name" (so without "value" and "createdAt").
I got a list of object composed with all fields ("name, "value", "createdAt", "id").

I looked up very quickly typeorm code and I don't see an implementation of this feature. I looked up very quickly mongodb driver javascript code and I don't see an implementation of select feature.
I came from mongoose, and now I am thinking this feature is implemented only by mongoose...
