Read lines till a blank line is encountered

Hi,

I have reached at a specified offset from the start of file. My requirement is that I want to read only those lines, which have the string READ / ALTER / UPDATE. As soon as, none of these literals are found in the subsequent line, I want to stop reading. Is there any feature of grep which can help me do this?

I saw one post in which someone has suggested using sed command. I could not follow it.

Please suggest.

tail -n $remPart filename.txt | head -n 100 | ............

The part in red is what I want. This should ideally be the terminating condition..
TIA
Saurabh

ALTER 
TRIGGER(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation ALTER TRIGGER(7) NAME
ALTER_TRIGGER - change the definition of a trigger SYNOPSIS
ALTER TRIGGER name ON table_name RENAME TO new_name DESCRIPTION
ALTER TRIGGER changes properties of an existing trigger. The RENAME clause changes the name of the given trigger without otherwise changing the trigger definition. You must own the table on which the trigger acts to be allowed to change its properties. PARAMETERS
name The name of an existing trigger to alter. table_name The name of the table on which this trigger acts. new_name The new name for the trigger. NOTES
The ability to temporarily enable or disable a trigger is provided by ALTER TABLE (ALTER_TABLE(7)), not by ALTER TRIGGER, because ALTER TRIGGER has no convenient way to express the option of enabling or disabling all of a table's triggers at once. EXAMPLES
To rename an existing trigger: ALTER TRIGGER emp_stamp ON emp RENAME TO emp_track_chgs; COMPATIBILITY
ALTER TRIGGER is a PostgreSQL extension of the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
ALTER TABLE (ALTER_TABLE(7)) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 2014-02-17 ALTER TRIGGER(7)
