Need help in sed command (adding a blank line btw each block generated by pattern)

Hello friends,

I have a C source code containing sql statements. I use the following sed command to print all the sql blocks in the source code....

sed -n "/exec sql/,/;/p" Sample.cpp

The above sed command will print the sql blocks based on the pattern "exec sql" & ";" (since most of them start with "exec" & ends in ";") & the output will look like this (with no ">>>>")

1>>>> exec sql select pqxQrn,
pqxPmeOldQcl
into :qrn, :qxt, :cuk, :cln, :pqxTdd,
:pmeOldQcl indicator :pmeOldQclInd
from pqx
1>>>>where pqxDno = :dno;
2>>>>exec sql select qcfQcl into :oldQcl from qcf
1>>>> where qcfCuk = :cuk;
2>>>> exec sql select cufCid
into :cid
from cuf
1>>>>where cufCuk = :cuk;
2>>>> exec sql select clrChief
into :chief
from clr
1>>>> where clrCln = :cln;
2>>>> exec sql select count(*) into :cnt from pqx
1>>>> where pqxQrn < :qrn;
2>>>> exec sql declare xqxPmeCur cursor for
select pqxQrn
from pqx
where pqxQxt = QXT_PME and
pqxCuk = :cuk and
pqxPmeDno = :dno and
1>>>> pqxTdd = :pqxTdd;
2>>>> exec sql open xqxPmeCur;

I would like to insert a space in between each sql blocks (between "1>>>>" & "2>>>>").....so that it is more readable. Kindly help....& thanks in advance.....

NAME
fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver. SYNOPSIS
fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils. fixnt is a filter that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1). The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout. It has no other form for invocation and takes no options on the command-line. OPTIONS
fixnt takes no options. BUGS
fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94. For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so: sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g' This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users. AUTHOR
fixnt was written by Holger Bauer <Holger.Bauer@topmail.de>, Michael Rath <rath@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>, and Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>. REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files. Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>. SEE ALSO
