How can I use a SQL UPDATE statement to add 1 year to a DATETIME column?

Question

I want to add 1 year to a datetime-type column in every single row in a table. Adding using an UPDATE statement is easy for numeric types. ex:

UPDATE TABLE S

The DateAdd function should do what you want.

UPDATE Procrastination SET DropDeadDueDate = DateAdd(yy, 1, DropDeadDueDate)
