RE: Adding new columns to a table using the datepart function SQL

SELECT Datepart(YEAR, '@StartDate') AS CalendarYear)
The issue there is you have passed a string as the datetime because you wrapped your variable with tick marks.
Try this instead.
SELECT Datepart(YEAR, @StartDate) AS CalendarYear)
