Solution 1

You need to add a date field to the table and add a trigger to update it.

SQL

CREATE TRIGGER LastChangedOnTbl on Tbl
FOR UPDATE, INSERT AS
UPDATE dbo.Tbl
SET LastUpdate = GetDate()
WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM inserted)

You can then use this field to select the most recently updated row.

Good luck!
