joining word/ lines in a file

List, slightly off topic but

Unix OS

I need to join lines/ words in a file.
So that it must be in a readable Oracle format.

They are seperated by a newline.

Here is a snippet of what the file looks like. I am trying using sed but cant seem to work it out. I could use tr but if there are multiple delete from .... ; then problems occur with blank lines.

I would need to only do a tr in the file between "delete" and ";". and skip the blank lines.

Not sure how to do this though.

like tr -d \\012 <FILE1 > FILE.out

FILE1 delete from JDAPROD.HBI_LOST_SALES where SKU_TECHNICAL_KEY = 1410 and STORE_TECH
NICAL_KEY = 276 and STORE_NO = 315 and STORE_NAME = 'Glenfield SB 315
' and SKU = '1516803' and SKU_NAME = 'WMERE ORGAN
ISER Black ' and DEPT = '052' and DEPT_N AME = 'Travel Bags' and CLASS = '05211
' and CLASS_NAME = 'Travel Bags' a

nd FORMAT_EXISTS = 'Y' and STOCK_ON_HAND = 2 and STOCK_IN_WAREHOUSE = 433 and RE
QUESTED_UNITS = 0 and ALLOCATED_UNITS = 0 and UNIT_SALES_CURRENT_DAY = 0 and UNI
T_SALES_LAST_7_DAYS = 0 and UNIT_SALES_LAST_6_WEEKS = 2 and ON_HAND_COST = 41.23
7 and ON_HAND_RETL = 167.333 and GROUP_NO = '05 ' and GROUP_NAME = ' Travel' and EST_STOCK = 0 and INTRANSIT = 2 and DATE_RUN = TO_DATE('27MAY2002
00:00:00', 'DDMONYYYY HH24:MI:SS') and ON_ORDER = 150;

delete from JDAPROD.HBI_LOST_SALES where SKU_TECHNICAL_KEY = 232 and STORE_TECH
NICAL_KEY = 276 and STORE_NO = 315 and STORE_NAME = 'Glenfield SB 315
' and SKU = '1516803' and SKU_NAME = 'WMERE ORGAN
ISER Black ' and DEPT = '052' and DEPT_N AME = 'Travel Bags' and CLASS = '05211
' and CLASS_NAME = 'Travel Bags' a

nd FORMAT_EXISTS = 'Y' and STOCK_ON_HAND = 2 and STOCK_IN_WAREHOUSE = 433 and RE
QUESTED_UNITS = 0 and ALLOCATED_UNITS = 0 and UNIT_SALES_CURRENT_DAY = 0 and UNI
T_SALES_LAST_7_DAYS = 0 and UNIT_SALES_LAST_6_WEEKS = 2 and ON_HAND_COST = 41.23
7 and ON_HAND_RETL = 167.333 and GROUP_NO = '43 ' and GROUP_NAME = ' xTravel' and EST_STOCK = 0 and INTRANSIT = 2 and DATE_RUN = TO_DATE('27MAY2002
00:00:00', 'DDMONYYYY HH24:MI:SS') and ON_ORDER = 22;

Any Ideas?
