	Uhm... If pymysql is db-api compliant, you shouldn't need a query just
for the names... Any cursor that returns results has a description of the
fields in that result...

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#cursor-attributes

	One could build the mapping from the cursor.description attribute.
