My bad.
Try a slight modification:
Code:
sed -n ':strt
/([[:space:]]*select/{;p;b;}
/([[:space:]]*$/{;N;b strt;}' file

Sure:
Code:
/(.*select/!N     if the line consists of a "(" followed by "select" then do not append the next line to the buffer..
//p               repeat the previous match operation ( "(" followed by "select" ) and print the buffer if successful

For that an awk version may be better suited, for example:
Code:
awk '/\(/{if(!/\(.*select/){getline p; $0=$0 RS p} if(/\(.*select/) print FILENAME ": " $0}' infile
