I don't use SQL yet.  Thanks to Ed LaFrance, this code selects all pending
orders and exports certain fields of their's to a txt file:

[loop search="
  co=yes
        fi=transactions
        st=db
        tf=code

        sf=status
        se=pending
        op=rm
        nu=0

        sf=deleted
        se=1
        nu=0
        op=!~
"][tmp pending_order][scratch pending_order]"[loop-code]",
"[loop-data transactions fname] [loop-data transactions lname]",
"[loop-data transactions company]",
"[loop-data transactions fname] [loop-data transactions lname]",
"[loop-data transactions address1]",
"[loop-data transactions address2]",
"[loop-data transactions city]",
"[loop-data transactions state]",
"[loop-data transactions zip]",
"[loop-data transactions phone_day]",
"[loop-data transactions fname] [loop-data transactions lname]",
"[loop-data transactions email]",
"Thanks for shopping at TrippyStore.com!",
"Email = [data base=userdb field=email_copy key='[loop-data transactions
usernam
e]']",
"Res. = [loop-data transactions delivery_type]"

[/tmp][/loop]
[calc]
        $Scratch->{pending_order} =~ s/\",\n/\",/g;
        $Scratch->{pending_order} =~ s/\n/\r/g;
        return;
[/calc]
[log
file="orders/pending/pending_orders.txt"
type=text
interpolate=1
hide=1
create=1
umask=022][scratch pending_order][/log]

Hope it helps!
