that looks like something that should be done in your front-end
level (Perl, PHP, whatever).
but actually, if you run "select * from beheerder wherer naam like '%naam%'"
and naam (what you probably pass from a script) is empty, the query will
produce the same results as "select * from beheerder", since "%%" will
match everything.
