Return Value
DAY returns the same value as DATEPART (day, date).
If date contains only a time part, the return value is 1, the base day.
Examples
The following statement returns 30. This is the number of the day.
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.1234567 -07:00');
The following statement returns 1900, 1, 1. The argument for date is the number 0. SQL Server interprets 0 as January 1, 1900.
SELECT YEAR(0), MONTH(0), DAY(0);
