Sed or Awk to remove specific lines

I have searched the forum for this - forgive me if I missed a previous post.

I have the following file:

blah blah blah
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
blah blah blah

alter table "informix".esc_acct add constraint (foreign key (fi_id)
references "informix".fi constraint "informix".fk_esc_acct_from_fi);
EOF

I want to use sed or awk to remove the 'alter table' statement which in this example is two lines, it can be three or even four lines. I know how to remove one line with sed but I do not know how to tell sed "remove the line with the words 'foreign key' and continue removing lines up to and including the first ';' that you run into". These lines do not always appear at the end of the file. I am using KSH on a Solaris 10 box.

Thanks for any help,

Mike
