Direct filtered access to SharePoint Timer Job History

Have you ever needed to scroll through the Timer Job History in Central Administration?  Wow, do a lot of jobs run!  Nice that you can view 2,000 at a time, but even that’s not enough to scroll to a previous day’s Timer Job History.   You can just jump into SQL Studio and use this query to extract the timeframe you want.  I needed a two minute window almost three days ago, here’s the simple query, enjoy!

SELECT * 
FROM [SharePoint].[dbo].[TimerJobHistory] 
WHERE starttime >'1/1/12 4:59:00'and EndTime <'1/1/12 5:01:00'
