MySQL Left Join Single Field

Question

Currently I am joining the 'articles' table with 'users' table. Instead of joining all fields from the 'users' table, I just want to join the field 'fullName'.

Is this possible? I've been searching for a solution but haven't had much luck. This is my SQL statment currently:

SELECT * FROM articles LEFT JOIN users ON articles.uid=users.uid

Thanks

Just change * to the list of wanted columns

SELECT 
    articles.*, 
    users.fullName 
FROM 
    articles 
LEFT JOIN users ON articles.uid=users.uid
