```python
def database(self, database, format=None):
db = self.ds.databases[database]
if self.ds.setting(""hash_urls"") and db.hash:
path = self.path(
f""{dash_encode(database)}-{db.hash[:HASH_LENGTH]}"", format=format
)
else:
path = self.path(dash_encode(database), format=format)
return path
```
The URLs that incorporate a hash have a `dbname-hash` format - will that `-` in the middle there mess up the dash decoding mechanism? I think it will.
Might be able to solve that like so:
```python
async def resolve_db_name(self, request, db_name, **kwargs):
hash = None
name = None
decoded_name = dash_decode(db_name)
if decoded_name not in self.ds.databases and ""-"" in db_name:
# No matching DB found, maybe it's a name-hash?
name_bit, hash_bit = db_name.rsplit(""-"", 1)
if dash_decode(name_bit) not in self.ds.databases:
raise NotFound(f""Database not found: {name}"")
else:
name = dash_decode(name_bit)
hash = hash_bit
else:
name = decoded_name

Yes, I'm going to do this. At the moment if a DB file is called `fixx%tures.db` when you run it in Datasette the path is `/fix%2525tures` - which is liable to break.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1160432941,Use dash encoding for table names and row primary keys in URLs,

Maybe the db name should use dash encoding too?
If so, relevant code includes this bit:

I'm going to change those to use dash-encoding instead.
I considered looking for `%` in those values and replacing that as `-` too, but since Datasette isn't 1.0 yet I'm going to risk breaking any pagination tokens that people might have saved away somewhere!","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1160432941,Use dash encoding for table names and row primary keys in URLs,

Reason being that the current scheme doesn't handle the case of `%` being part of the table name, which could cause weird breakage due to some proxies decoding percent encoding before it gets to Datasette.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1160432941,Use dash encoding for table names and row primary keys in URLs,
