print the line immediately after a regexp; but regexp is a sentence

Good Day,

Im new to scripting especially awk and sed. I just would like to ask help from you guys about a sed command that prints the line immediately after a regexp, but not the line containing the regexp.
sed -n '/regexp/{n;p;}' filename

What if my regexp is 3 word or a sentence. Im using date as my starting point for my logs because its based on a tail alert log that updates daily. sample of it is below:

Completed: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER CANCEL

ALTER 
DATABASE(7) SQL Commands ALTER DATABASE(7) NAME
ALTER DATABASE - change a database SYNOPSIS
ALTER DATABASE name SET variable { TO | = } { value | DEFAULT } ALTER DATABASE name RESET variable DESCRIPTION
ALTER DATABASE is used to change the session default of a run-time configuration variable for a PostgreSQL database. Whenever a new session is subsequently started in that database, the specified value becomes the session default value. The database-specific default overrides whatever setting is present in postgresql.conf or has been received from the postmaster. Only a superuser or the database owner can change the session defaults for a database. PARAMETERS name The name of the database whose session defaults are to be altered. variable value Set the session default for this database of the specified configuration variable to the given value. If value is DEFAULT or, equiv- alently, RESET is used, the database-specific variable setting is removed and the system-wide default setting will be inherited in new sessions. Use RESET ALL to clear all settings. See SET [set(7)] and the Administrator's Guide for more information about allowed variable names and values. DIAGNOSTICS
ALTER DATABASE Message returned if the alteration was successful. ERROR: database "dbname" does not exist Error message returned if the specified database is not known to the system. NOTES
Using ALTER USER [alter_user(7)], it is also possible to tie a session default to a specific user rather than a database. User-specific settings override database-specific ones if there is a conflict. EXAMPLES
To disable index scans by default in the database test: ALTER DATABASE test SET enable_indexscan TO off; COMPATIBILITY
The ALTER DATABASE statement is a PostgreSQL extension. SEE ALSO
