If date contains only a time part, the return value is 1, the base day.

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);
