What day is one month after 31st January? What day is one month before 31st March? I checked it with various RDBs.

On 31/1, when you read this message like this, can you immediately think of what day it is?
"It will expire one month after the registration date."
Also, what about the following message on 31/3?
"One month's notice will be given."
I looked into this, but I couldn't find any legal provisions or international rules.
So, I decided to research it with various RDBs.
I tried with:
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQL Server
- Oracle
In all RDBs result were the same.

Extra
If you want to notify the expiration date, it may be better to use days instead of month, such as "The data retention period is 90 days".
