In this case @@IDENTITY is not going to help you. To this job you need to add a column in the table named LastUpdatedDate with the Default Constraint of Current DateTime. While updating the table, you can update this column also. Then easily you can write select query based on that. Like this:

SQL

SELECT * FROM PersonHowEducation prh INNER JOIN HowzeEducation he ON
prh.HowzeEducationId=he.HowzeEducationId ORDER BY he.LastUpdatedDate DESC

This will give you a list of updated records in descending order of LastUpdatedDate column. You can customize the query according to your wish.
