In addition to using a computed column, you can create a view to perform
the calculation and use the view as needed:

CREATE TABLE Foo (
keycol INT PRIMARY KEY,
col1 INT,
col2 INT);

INSERT INTO Foo VALUES(1, 3, 5);

GO

CREATE VIEW Bar (col1, col2, col3)
AS
SELECT col1, col2, col1 * col2
FROM Foo;

GO

SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM Bar;

Actually a better example for the view should have been:

CREATE VIEW Bar (keycol, col1, col2, col3)
AS
SELECT keycol, col1, col2, col1 * col2
FROM Foo;

only two values and the product of the two values should appear in
third column.......
and moreover i m not talking about the select statement........... i
want to enter that value in the table...........

Did you try the example? The insert statement has 3 values because it
inserts the key column too. The view will calculate col3 automatically.
