"\o filename";
"select your_query_goes_here;"
"\o"

This should do the trick. Basically \o will start writing the results to
the file.
"\?" will give you help for such psql commands.

Subject: [NOVICE] Queries to Export

I need to export the results of several union and join queries from a
PostgreSQL database tables into text files. How is that done since the
results is not in a table?

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Warren, i think pgadmin3 has a button that saves the
results of a query to a file. that may be worth a
try, too.
