<dtml-sqltest multiple> is expecting a single value, a list or a tuple. I 
don't think you can enter a list or a tuple on the Test page for a ZSQL 
method, so to test it you might use a script like this:

rows = container.myquery(bedrooms=[2,3])
for row in rows:
    print row.address, row.bedrooms, row.powder_room
return printed
