Answer 1

NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:@"employee_detail"];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"employee_detail" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];

fetchRequest.resultType = NSDictionaryResultType;
fetchRequest.propertiesToFetch = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[[entity propertiesByName] objectForKey:@"name"]];
fetchRequest.returnsDistinctResults = YES;

NSArray *dictionaries = [self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:nil];
NSLog (@"names: %@",dictionaries);
