Select Top and Last rows in a table (SQL server)

To get the bottom 1000 you will want to order it by a column in descending order, and still take the top 1000.

SELECT TOP 1000 *
FROM [SomeTable]
ORDER BY MySortColumn DESC

If you care for it to be in the same order as before you can use a common table expression for that:

;WITH CTE AS (
    SELECT TOP 1000 *
    FROM [SomeTable]
    ORDER BY MySortColumn DESC
)

SELECT * 
FROM CTE
ORDER BY MySortColumn

You must sort your data according your needs (es. in reverse order) and use select top query
