I have 3 columns with a number in each....

Table - Test
Column A: 123
Column B: 456
Column C: 789

I add a new column D: and I want to see...
Column D: 123456789

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Assuming those columns are int or similar:

select convert(varchar(20), columnA) + convert(varchar(20), columnB) + convert(varchar(20), columnC) as columnD
from yourTable

Mine assumes the values you posted (length of 3 in each column). Tara's would work with any value.
