  If you have some counter (identity..etc) in the table you can do this. Lets say the table

  create table test (nID int, name varchar(100))

  insert into test (nid,nome) values (1,'Row1')

  insert into test (nid,nome) values (2,'Row2')

  insert into test (nid,nome) values (3,'Row3')

  WITH LastRow AS

  (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY nid desc) AS ROWID, * FROM test)

  SELECT * FROM lastrow where ROWID = 1 or ROWID = 2

  or

  WITH LastRow AS

  (SELECT top 2 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY nid desc) AS ROWID, * FROM test)

  SELECT * FROM lastrow

  or

  select top 2 * from test order by nid desc

  This second example its better if you have a large table.

  this return

  Rowid Nid Name

  13Row3

  22Row2

  if this example dont works to you, put the table structure to us.
