Coming late on this thread, hope I'm not OT, or
ignorant of the OP's problem ...

The dtml-else clause you are using here should be part
of the dtml-in.  You want:

<table>
<dtml-in SQL_getNames>
   <dtml-if sequence-start>
     <tr align="left" valign="top">
   </dtml-if>
     <td height="28" bgcolor="white">
       <dtml-var last_name>, <dtml-var first_name>
       <dtml-var middle_name null="">
     </td>
   <dtml-if sequence-end>
     </tr>
   </dtml-if>
<dtml-else>
     <tr align="left" valign="top">
     <td><p>No records are returned.</p></td>
     </tr>
</dtml-in>
</table>

...or just:

<table>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<dtml-in SQL_getNames>
     <td height="28" bgcolor="white">
       <dtml-var last_name>, <dtml-var first_name>
       <dtml-var middle_name null="">
     </td>
<dtml-else>
     <td><p>No records are returned.</p></td>
</dtml-in>
</tr>
</table>
