Sidecar file has conflict

Question

* I imported several thousands photos (JPGs) into lightroom.
* I edited metadata of these photos before import in lr with some other tools
* I selected "Automatically write changes into XMP" in lr catalog settings
* I reorganized my keywords
==> I saw that some of those photos has "Sidecar file has conflict" (the "!" sign at the upper right corner in grid view)
* I searched for the error and I saw, that some of the photos did only have IPTC and no XMP metadata included.
* If I copy IPTC data to XMP, I can save metdata to file in lr
==> My question: Because there are thousands of photos: Is there a way to search only those photos which have  "Sidecar file has conflict" in lr?

To all contributing on this thread -
A .bat file called from a Shortcut Icon works as Rob suggested: only two lines (in Windows).
    Start sqlite3.exe "Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat" ".read BadToFile.sql"
    Start "" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.3\lightroom.exe"
The BadToFile.sql includes the code previously suggested with a couple of lines to define file name and turn headers off.  I then set up a smart collection for LR marked images.  Now occasionally when I want to update image, instead of selecting all and updating them with Ctrl-S, I:
     1.     Exit LR and re-enter;
     2.     Run the LR Tranporter routine to mark images that are in the file list just created before start-up;
     3.     Select the smart collection and the select all images in there; then
     4.     Hit Ctrl-S.
Not a bad short-term solution.  Also, if I then exit and repeat the step, it leave in those few images that can't ever seem to get updated with Ctrl-S and I can work on them individually by clicking the update icon or Updating DNG Previews (sometimes these work).
Anyway thanks for this thread.

PS - The marking "Red" also works similarly but the downside is that when selecting the collection of those that are "Red", you can't save them before removing the "Red" or they will continue to have a mis-match when the "Red" is removed.  You have to first save a quick or dumb collection to not lose the selected group.  Also, if you have color labels in use, it overwrites them in "Red" and can't remember what color it was before - can be a bummer.
PSS - After playing with the sqlite command window, I agree that the table structures of this LR database seem a bit of a mess.  It has probably morphed over time and may not be the best design if one were starting from scratch.  I therefore wouldn't want to spend too much time working with this database as a re-structure seems in order sometime in the future.
