Thanks. That clarified a lot. The MySQL query comes back fine. I'm troubleshooting a complex shop I had a programmer who worked for me build...so it's not my code...and it's complex ;) I went into the shopkeeper's side and was able to successfully query the database. I was, for example, able to display the "cotton" products for editing. However, when I do essentially_the_same_thing TTW with the following code snippet, it hangs!

<tal:block metal:define-macro="content"
           define="dummy python:request.set('category', 5)">
  <tal:block metal:use-macro="here/Store/Main_frame_content/macros/content" />
</tal:block>

Furthermore, mytop shows the user is hanging:
     30 mysqluser       localhost mrtableclo       473  Sleep

What should I do next to troubleshoot this?
TIA,
Tony
