SELECT domain_name||'/'||username||'/' AS home_dir,username

home_dir | username
------------------------------------+----------------
thetradinghall.com/arnaud.gaboury/ | arnaud.gaboury
thetradinghall.com/admin/ | admin
thetradinghall.com/postmaster/ | postmaster
Now I can pick up the home_dir for username u.
