DAY ( date ) date
Is an expression that can be resolved to a time, date, smalldatetime, datetime, datetime2, or datetimeoffset value. The date argument can be an expression, column expression, user-defined variable or string literal.

DAY returns the same value as DATEPART (day, date).
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('2015-04-30 01:01:01.1234567'); The following statement returns 1900, 1, 1. The argument for date is the number 0. [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] interprets 0 as January 1, 1900.
SELECT YEAR(0), MONTH(0), DAY(0);
