Starts with query in SQL Server

How to filter records from the table whose a column value starts with a specific character (in SQL Server)?

To get records from the table that contains a specific word, we can combine the columns in a single value and use wild card characters.

SELECT * FROM PersonalDetails
WHERE FirstName + ' ' + LastName LIKE 'S%'

Above script will list all records from the PersonalDetails table whose combination of FirstName and LastName starts with “S”.
