It's actually quite interesting that the range is 0-365 since all the other
day of year functions I know return 1-366.
.NET
DateTime.DayOfYear

Borland
DayOfTheYear

Oracle
SELECT {fn DAYOFYEAR('2007-01-01')} FROM DUAL;

MS-SQL
SELECT DATEPART( "dayofyear", '01 JAN 2007' );

MySQL
DAYOFYEAR(date)

DB2
EXTRACT(DAYOFYEAR FROM '01 JAN 2007')

PostgreSQL
SELECT EXTRACT(DOY FROM TIMESTAMP '2007-01-01');

SmallSQL
DAYOFYEAR(date)

More interestingly though is that the SQL:2003 standard's definition does
not specifically state the values for days only months (which must be 0-11).
Which means that Firebird's implementation although it goes against the
grain falls in line with the standard precedent set for "MONTH".

Sorry useless bit of reading for any interested.
