  Its really a simple solution with all you need to do is add a column that conactinates the fixed string 'This city name is ' and the Name Column.

  Yep, just this easy:

  IF object_id('TempDB..#tTemp1') IS NOT NULL

  DROP TABLE #tTemp1

  CREATE TABLE #tTemp1(ID int, Name varchar(20))

  INSERT INTO #tTemp1(ID, Name)

  SELECT 1, 'NewYork'

  UNION

  SELECT 2, 'Virginia'

  UNION

  SELECT 3, 'London'

  UNION

  SELECT 4, 'Sydney'

  UNION

  SELECT 5, 'Dubai'

  SELECT ID, Name, 'The city name is ' + Name as Comment FROM #tTemp1

  DROP TABLE #tTemp1

  Hi ,

  You can get the desired result quiet easily...

  The below mentioned code will solve your problem.

  Another way is like this (a computed column):

  IF object_id('TempDB..#tTemp1') IS NOT NULL

  DROP TABLE #tTemp1

  CREATE TABLE #tTemp1(ID int, Name varchar(20)

  ,Comment AS ('The city name is ' + Name))

  INSERT INTO #tTemp1(ID, Name)

  SELECT 1, 'NewYork'

  UNION

  SELECT 2, 'Virginia'

  UNION

  SELECT 3, 'London'

  UNION

  SELECT 4, 'Sydney'

  UNION

  SELECT 5, 'Dubai'

  SELECT * FROM #tTemp1

  DROP TABLE #tTemp1

  My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

  My advice:
  INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
  The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
