Good catch on the workaround here. The root problem is that datasette-template-sql looks for the first available databsae if you don't provide it with a database= argument, and in Datasette 0.54 the first available database changed to being the new _internal database.

Is this a bug? I think it is - because the documented behaviour on https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#get-database-name is this:

name - string, optional

The name to be used for this database - this will be used in the URL path, e.g. /dbname. If not specified Datasette will pick one based on the filename or memory name.

Since the new behaviour differs from what was in the documentation I'm going to treat this as a bug and fix it.
