Try this:

$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('*');
$query->from('#__virtuemart_categories_en_gb'); 
$query->where('category_name = "app" ');   
$db->setQuery($query);
$o= $db->loadResult();
echo $o;

To select an id value, you can use $query->select('virtuemart_category_id');
